Illinois Teen Hospitalized at Springfield Planned Parenthood

Pro-life advocates with Springfield Right to Life recently reported that the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Springfield, IL called an ambulance to pick up a patient on November 19.



After learning of the event, Operation Rescue requested 911 records. It obtained a redacted report verifying the medical emergency as well as a garbled radio dispatch clip indicating that an 18-year old woman fell, hit her head, and was "not alert" when the dispatch was made. The hospital she was transported to and her current medical condition were not released publicly.

Springfield Right to Life said that the incident occurred on a surgical abortion day. Women who undergo surgical abortions can experience dizziness and lightheadedness from sedation or blood loss. In some cases, it can be a sign of severe medical issues stemming from the abortion procedure. Too much blood loss can be fatal, and internal bleeding is not always easy to detect.

“A fainting spell and head strike can be serious enough in itself, but when it is abortion-related, it is even more cause for concern,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Abortion is not safe and this is another incident that supports that claim. Anyone who says otherwise is just parroting agenda-driven fake news talking points from the Abortion Cartel.”
