Unlike other medical emergencies at abortion clinics, this 911 call was not
made at the discretion of clinic staff. Instead, the patient requested that an
employee call and request transport to a hospital emergency room. The patient
told staffers that she was experiencing severe abdominal pain, but the caller
simply described the patient's pain as "cramping."
Operation Rescue noted that this attitude towards patients appears to be a
trend at this facility. In
the last emergency that Operation Rescue documented at Access Health, a patient was advised by the abortionist to transport herself to a
hospital. The staff only called after the patient was unable to stand on her
own and insisted that they call 911.
“When an abortionist is willing to violently dismember a growing baby in the intended safety of his or her mother’s womb, that same callousness naturally extends to the mother,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “This is exactly why Operation Rescue will continue to expose this pattern of evil disregard for human life at this abortion facility and others throughout the nation.”
