According to emergency records released after the incident, a nurse
called 911 to request an ambulance for a patient experiencing "heavy
bleeding" during an abortion. The bleeding was severe enough that the on-site
abortionist did not complete the abortion.
The 911 dispatch report states that the 31-year-old patient was hospitalized for hemorrhaging and lacerations.
Operation Rescue
shared information about the incident after receiving reports from pro-life
witnesses. You can listen to a recording of the 911 call
here. When an ambulance arrived to transfer the patient, a pro-life witness attempted to record video footage to document the incident. A security guard from Access Health Center tried to block the view of the witness's camera. He told her that she was "trespassing" by sitting in her car on the street.
The status of the patient and her unborn child are not public knowledge.
“We hope and pray that this young woman and her child survived this horrific
attempted abortion at this so-called health center,” said Troy Newman,
President of Operation Rescue, “We continue to pray for widespread repentance
across our nation as we expose the growing number of life-threatening
emergencies at these dangerous, blood-hungry abortion businesses in Illinois
and other states where the murder of innocent babies remains legal.”
