Is there an explanation for the steep drop under Clinton and Obama? And the downward trend in general?

"It went down to ZERO under Obama!" - me before I realized the scale was 200-380.

WTF. In 1980 there were 360 abortions for every 1000 live births?! So out of every 1360 pregnancies 360 were aborted, or 26.4%? I'm not a statistician, but doesn't this seem incredibly high?
