Supreme Court Decides to Leave Texas Heartbeat Act in Place During Arguments

The US Supreme Court announced last Friday that it will leave Texas's Heartbeat Act in place while it decides on the law's constitutionality. It has fast-tracked this case to hear oral arguments starting on Nov. 1.

The Heartbeat Act first went into effect on Sept. 1, 2021. The law prohibits the abortion of unborn babies whose heartbeats are detectable. This happens at around six weeks gestation. So far, the law has managed to avoid being struck down by judges due to its unique method of enforcement. Rather than being enforced directly by the state of Texas, the law empowers individuals to file lawsuits against abortionists and others who participate in the abortion of protected babies. The mother of an aborted baby cannot be held liable under the Heartbeat Act.

The court's announcement allows the case to skip proceedings in appeals courts, and it will instead go directly to the US Supreme Court. The Biden administration requested that the court block the Texas Heartbeat Act's enforcement, but the court refused to do so in this instance.

Additionally, the court might not rule directly on the constitutionality of abortion restrictions. In a case brought by the Biden administration, the Supreme Court will consider whether the federal government has the right to sue the state of Texas to block the law's enforcement. In another case brought by the abortion businesses, the court will rule on the constitutionality of the law's enforcement mechanism (civil lawsuits by individuals rather than direct government enforcement).

This is the second time that the Supreme Court has declined to block the Texas Heartbeat Act's enforcement. The first time, the court did so on procedural grounds.

Pro-Life Illinois Senators Call on General Assembly to Protect Parental Rights

Last week, the women of the Senate Republican Caucus held a press conference during which they urged legislators to protect parental rights and defend the Parental Notice of Abortion (PNA) Act. Pro-abortion lawmakers have indicated that they might attempt to force through a bill repealing PNA during the final days of the fall veto session this week.

PNA requires the parents or guardians of minors to be notified 48 hours before the minor has an abortion. Parental consent is not required, and it is possible for minors to bypass the notification requirement.

Senate Republican Deputy Leader Sue Rezin (R-Morris), State Senator Jil Tracy (R-Quincy), State Senator Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro), and State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason) each gave statements in defense of PNA.

During the press conference, Deputy Leader Rezin said,
“This is an issue about parental rights, and whether you believe it is acceptable to keep parents in the dark about a very serious healthcare decision being made by their child. As a mother of two daughters, I strongly believe it is a parent’s right to be made aware of their daughter’s health and their healthcare decisions. If parents are left in the dark, we will not be able to provide them with the support and care during one of their most difficult times in their life. That is why I intend to stand up for every parent in Illinois and fight against any attempt to erode the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.”
Sen. Tracy argued that parents' input during a situation as stressful as an unplanned pregnancy is vitally important:
“Every parent or guardian has the responsibility to provide for the physical and mental health, and safety, of their children. Most parents have had to write a note or make a phone call to their child’s school to allow basic medications like ibuprofen or aspirin to be taken at school. If we take such care in situations like that, how do we justify doing away with parental notification of abortions? A pregnant 14-year-old girl does not have the emotional maturity to deal with all the implications of her difficult decision, which could have lifelong consequences no matter what choice she makes.”
“The Majority Party wants to punish good, supportive parents who want nothing more than to be there for their young daughter during the hardest time of her life, all under the guise of protecting the abused,” said Sen. Bryant.
“There are avenues for young women to pursue if they feel unsafe with having a parent informed of their decision. Any attempt to repeal parental notification is a direct attack on parental rights. Being a mother and a grandmother, I refuse to allow Democrat lawmakers to tie the hands of parents, allowing children to undergo a serious medical procedure without the guidance and support of a parent.”

Sen. Turner pointed out that PNA not only empowers parents to be present during an important moment in their daughters' lives, but it also protects young girls from the dangers of sex trafficking. 

“Under the Parental Notice of Abortion Act, any facility conducting an abortion for a minor must notify their parent or legal guardian in advance of that procedure. Sex trafficking experts believe this notification process is a vital step in identifying potential victims who have gone under the radar. If we vote to repeal this Act, we make it easier for sexual predators and sex traffickers to abuse the children of our state.”

Illinois Legislators to Consider Bill Fining Anyone Causing "unintended pregnancy"

The Illinois General Assembly is set to consider a bill designed to undermine the Texas Heartbeat Act and cement Illinois's reputation as an abortion destination.

Illinois State Rep. Kelly Cassidy introduced HB4146, known as “The EXpanding Abortion Services” (Texas) Act on Sept. 14. The law would penalize anyone who causes an unintended pregnancy, regardless of consent. The law mimics the enforcement mechanism of Texas's Heartbeat Act by empowering individuals to file lawsuits against anyone who “commits an act of sexual assault or domestic abuse or causes an unintended pregnancy, regardless of circumstances; knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets a sexual assault or domestic abuse or causes an unintended pregnancy, regardless of circumstances; or intends to engage in that act or conduct.”

HB4146 would require violators to pay $10,000 fines. Half of that amount would be awarded to the individual who filed the lawsuit, and the other half would be put in a state-managed fund to assist women traveling to Illinois for abortions.

Pro-abortion legislators will have the opportunity to pass this bill this week on the final days of the fall veto session: Oct. 26-28. Make sure to call your legislators and tell them to oppose HB4146. To find your legislators and their contact information, enter your address at the link below:

Make Your Voice Heard! Come to the Capitol and Tell Legislators to Keep PNA!

Pro-abortion Illinois legislators have several bills in the works that could repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (PNA). We need pro-life voices to come to the capitol next week and let legislators know that PNA provides essential protection for young Illinois girls, and it should not be repealed.

The Parental Notice of Abortion Act requires that a parent or guardian be notified 48 hours before a minor girl has an abortion. This provides parents with the ability to speak with their daughters about the weighty decision of abortion. Simultaneously, it protects young girls from sex trafficking by preventing pimps from using abortion to hide their crimes from parents.

Parents deserve the ability to be involved in their children's lives. In recent weeks, parents have gone to school boards to protest government-funded education programs that conflict with their values. The overreach if PNA is repealed will be much more direct. The government is trying to put itself between parents and their children, and we will not stand for it.

To make your voices heard, please come to the capitol and help us create a presence of pro-life advocates with a desire to protect the rights of parents and the unborn!

When: Wednesday and Thursday, October 27 & 28. Come one or both days. Arrive around 10 am. Depart around 1:30 pm.

Where: Pick up signs at 108 E. Cook St., Springfield, IL. Park in the back, pick up signs and attend a briefing, and walk to the Capitol.

If you can't attend, please call your legislators and tell them to keep Illinois's Parental Notice of Abortion Act!

Hyde and Weldon Amendments Absent from Senate Appropriations Bill

A new bill submitted by Senate Democrats to the Labor, HHS, and Education departments does not include the Hyde or Weldon amendments.

The Hyde Amendment is designed to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortion, and the Weldon amendment protects pro-life organizations from being punished for not funding abortion. Both amendments have been bipartisan additions to every spending bill passed for decades. This year, however, it is uncertain whether the pro-life provision will make the cut.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy introduced the spending bill Monday.

Notably, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is reportedly threatening to leave the Democratic Party over issues such as this. He says that he won't support any legislative package that does not contain the Hyde Amendment, and he also takes issue with the amount of spending Democratic leaders are proposing.

Montana AG Appeals Injunction Against Three Pro-Life Laws

Last week, District Judge Michael Moses issued a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of three pro-life laws passed by the Montana legislature and signed by pro-life Gov Greg Gianforte (R). The injunction prevents the laws from going into effect while the deliberates on the constitutionality of the laws. In response, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced this week that he is appealing that injunction in an attempt to enforce the overwhelmingly passed legislation.

The three laws were originally set to go into effect on Oct. 1. The Montana Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act prohibits the abortion of children who have reached 20 weeks gestation. Another bill requires abortionists to offer women the opportunity to view an ultrasound before having an abortion. The third bill requires women to be informed of the potential risks involved with the abortion pill regimen. Women who want to take the abortion pill would be required to visit a doctor in person, and it would be illegal to distribute abortion pills through the mail.

A notice filed by the Montana Department of Justice said,

"Abortionists are not entitled to exemptions from commonsense protections for their patients. The state laws that Planned Parenthood is seeking to overturn require better medical care, but Planned Parenthood, a business that calls itself a “health” organization, is fighting to attempt to ensure that substandard regulations remain law. Women deserve health and safety; they don’t forfeit that when they consider having an abortion."

Attorneys Argue Kamala Harris Colluded with Abortion Orgs to Protect Them from Investigators

New records unearthed by pro-life attorneys suggest that Kamala Harris's office while she served as California's Attorney General colluded with abortion providers to protect them from pro-life investigators.

Center for Medical Progress (CMP) founder David Daleiden is still the subject of criminal charges filed against him by Harris, who was California's Attorney General when the CMP started going public with undercover investigative videos. The videos showed conversations with individuals in the abortion industry who discussed how the for-profit harvesting of body parts harvested from aborted babies.

Harris's Justice Department raided Daleiden's home in 2016 and seized undercover video footage of Planned Parenthood. Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress face charges for violating California state eavesdropping laws. Lawyers defending the CMP argue that this is an unprecedented violation of the first amendment freedom of the press.

While Deputy Attorney General Johnetter Jauron was being questioned in the Superior Court of San Francisco, she told Judge Christopher Hite that she had "provided NAF [the National Abortion Federation] with everything that I provided Defendant [Daleiden]." Daleiden's attorneys argue that this statement implied that Jauron gave CMP footage to the NAF along with other materials that were taken from Daleiden's apartment.

Jauron later denied the accusations, stating "I have not provided any materials seized pursuant to search warrant in this case to any unauthorized recipient." New billing records from NAF's civil attorneys call this statement into question, however.

Records filed in August show that attorney Alexandra Laks billed the NAF $262.50 for "coordinate review of new videos." The bill is marked for April 6, 2016—the day after Harris's office had Daleiden's apartment raided.

"No discovery was provided by Mr. Daleiden’s attorneys in civil cases filed by PP and NAF at that time," said attorney Brent Ferreira in a statement to Fox News. "The reference to new videos can only relate to the videos seized pursuant to the search warrant."

He added that "this case is the most egregious abuse of prosecutorial power that I have ever seen and I was a trial and appellate lawyer in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for [30] years."

Pro-abortion groups reportedly gave Harris tens of thousands of dollars to benefit her campaigns. Neither she nor any Attorney General after her have pressed charges against Planned Parenthood after CMP videos went public.

Connecticut Pregnancy Center Files Suit Against Discriminatory Law

Care Net Pregnancy Resource Center of Southeastern Connecticut filed a federal lawsuit last week against a new state law that would punish pro-life pregnancy centers for not offering abortion.

The law would target pro-life pregnancy centers by accusing them of offering "limited services" and engaging in "deceptive advertising." Care Net says that the new law “bans Care Net from communicating freely with the individuals it serves and with those it wishes to serve, unless Care Net agrees to provide abortions, dispense abortifacient drugs, or offer referrals for abortions or abortifacient drugs.”

Alliance Defending Freedom filed the lawsuit on Care Net's behalf last Tuesday. Care Net seeks a court order to block the law due to its violation of free speech, freedom of religion, due process, and equal protection rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong will defend the law in court. “Women need accurate and timely information about their reproductive health choices,” he said in a statement. “It’s indefensible to lie to women at a vulnerable time.”

Chicago Abortion Business Requests No Sirens for Woman Facing Medical Emergency

photo credit: Operation Rescue
On July 10, 2021, a 40-year-old woman at the Family Planning Associates (FPA) abortion facility in Chicago was sent to the hospital for serious injuries she suffered during an abortion. When an employee called 911 to request an ambulance for the patient, she asked that it come without using its lights or sirens. This is the twelfth medical emergency documented by Operation Rescue since 2018.

Abortion businesses often request that ambulances not use their lights or sirens because they do not want the bad press that can come with injuring women. A woman who experiences complications after an abortion (usually in the form of heavy bleeding and hemorrhaging) can face life-threatening blood loss if they are not helped by medical professionals quickly, however. The safety of the woman must come before the fear of bad PR in these situations. FPA's request shows that it does not put the health of the woman first.


The Pro-Life Action League provided a recording of the 911 call to Operation Rescue, a pro-life organization that documents medical emergencies caused by abortions.

“The patient just underwent an abortion, and she had an injury to the uterus,” the FPA employee explained during the 911 call. “She’s having some bleeding.  It’s controlled right now but she does need to get to the hospital.”

Later in the call, the employee asked, “And if it’s possible for them to come with no lights or sirens, we’d appreciate that.”

The 911 operator responded, “Uh, that’s for their safety, unfortunately.”

Ambulances use lights and sirens to alert drivers that there is a medical emergency. If they aren't used, drivers might not pull over to grant the ambulance the precious seconds needed to respond to emergency situations.

“For decades, women have been gaslighted to believe that abortion is safe,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “If women understood the true dangers of abortion, it is likely that some would not have them. That, of course, would cost the abortion businesses a lot of money at a time when the nationwide average cost of an abortion is $612 and rising. Profit motivation is one powerful reason they continue to selling abortions as being safe, when they obviously are not.  We believe women deserve the truth, not a sales pitch.”

Minneapolis Abortion Group to Send Mobile Abortion Facilities to Texas Border

A Minneapolis-based pro-abortion group has organized a fundraiser to send mobile abortion facilities to the Texas border. This act is an attempt to subvert the Texas Heartbeat act and facilitate the deaths of Texas babies who would have otherwise survived.

In a fundraising email to constituents, Just the Pill asked for donations to send two mobile abortion units to the Texas border. The organization claim that these units will help mitigate a "human rights disaster" caused by "anti-abortion extremists."

Women who travel to the Texas border to receive pills from units such as these could abort their unborn babies a full month past the deadline put in place by the Heartbeat Act. The Heartbeat Act bans abortion at the point when the baby's heartbeat is detectable, which is around six weeks gestation.

5th Circuit Ruling Keeps Texas Heartbeat Law in Place

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last Thursday that the Texas Heartbeat Act will remain in effect for now.

The court ruled in a 2-1 decision that because the Heartbeat Act is enforced privately rather than through agents of the state, Texas cannot be sued to block the implementation of the law. The Biden Department of Justice, which sued Texas over the Heartbeat Act, is expected to appeal the ruling.

The Court had already ruled to reinstate the law after a temporary injunction was placed against it by U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, but the 5th Circuit's decision means that the law can continue to see enforcement while the lawsuit is considered in courts.

Texas's Heartbeat Act allows private citizens to file lawsuits against abortionists or those who enable the abortions of unborn babies who have detectable heartbeats. This happens at about six weeks gestation. The mother cannot be held legally liable.

Pro-Life British Lawmaker Stabbed to Death

Sir David Amess
69-year-old Sir David Amess, a pro-life Member of the British Parliament, was stabbed to death last Friday while meeting with constituents at a Methodist Church in southeast England. A 25-year-old man was arrested in connection with the murder.

Sir David was a conservative Member of Parliament since 1983. While in parliament, he fought for pro-life initiatives. Additionally, Sir David was a patron of Right To Life UK.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Amess had an "outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable.” Right to Life UK described him as a "pro-life champion."

“Sir David’s death is a senseless tragedy and he will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Julia and their five children,” said Catherine Robinson, spokesperson for Right To Life UK. 

“Since he was elected in 1983, he always, where possible, used his position as an MP to stand up for the vulnerable, including championing initiatives to introduce more protections for unborn babies and more support for women facing crisis pregnancies. Everyone who worked with Sir David knew him to be a kind, caring and jovial man, who showed real care for the most vulnerable in our society.”

Mississippi AG Files Brief in Defense of Gestational Age Act

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch
As the Dec. 1 date for oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization comes closer, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch filed a reply brief in the Supreme Court to refute arguments made by the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights.

The upcoming case debates the constitutionality of Mississippi's Gestational Age Act, which bans abortion after 15 weeks gestation with few exceptions. The Supreme Court will decide whether or not all pre-viability abortion bans are unconstitutional.

AG Fitch once again directly asked the court to reconsider the constitutionality of  Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The brief begins,
"For 30 years, no party has had to defend Roe v. Wade. No party has ever had to defend Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. Finally forced to defend those cases, respondents drive home the stark reality: Roe and Casey are indefensible. At each turn, respondents’ 'effort to defend' Roe and Casey 'underscores' the overwhelming case for rejecting those decisions."

Fitch's brief goes on to argue several points as to why the Supreme Court should not continue to force a judicially managed right to abortion against the states:

“Not treating abortion as a fundamental right treats it as the Constitution does most important issues: for the people to decide. …When this Court returns this issue to the people, the people can debate, adapt, and find workable solutions. It will be hard for the people too, but under the Constitution the task is theirs—and the Court should return it to them now.”

New Jersey Gov. Approves Rules Allowing Non-Doctors to do Abortions

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D)
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) approved new rules this week allowing less qualified individuals to do abortion procedures. This not only lifts one of the few regulations facing abortion businesses in the pro-abortion state of New Jersey, but it also makes abortions less safe for the women who have them.

North Jersey News reported that Gov. Murphy “approved lifting regulations on abortions that barred [abortions] from happening in a doctor’s office beyond 14 weeks of pregnancy and allowing as many as 15,000 nurses, physician assistants and midwives to perform the procedure.”

New Jersey currently has the second-highest abortion rate in the country next to the District of Columbia. The state is also considering a "Reproductive Freedom Act" that would codify a right to abortion without limitations. It would require health insurance companies to cover abortions without deductibles, co-insurance, or co-payments.

Over One Million Participate in Mexico March for Women and Life

Pro-life activists in Mexico came out in droves to protest abortion less than a month after the Mexico Supreme Court decriminalized abortion. On Oct. 3, over 300,000 people gathered in Mexico City to support the right to life, and others participated throughout the country in the March for Women and for Life. The Catholic News Agency reported that the total number of marchers throughout the country surpassed one million.

Speakers at the Mexico City event included Mayra Rodríguez, a pro-life advocate who used to work at a Planned Parenthood abortion business in Arizona. "I was the director of the largest abortion facility in the state of Arizona,” Rodríguez told the crowd. “What I saw there is what has me standing here with you today.”

Rodríguez said that she reported several botched abortions, including one in which the abortionist "left the head of a 14-week-old baby, which he referred to as garbage, inside the mother's womb, without caring if that woman would die the next day from an infection.”

“Mexico marched, Mexico stood up, Mexico did not give up, Mexico showed it is in favor of life, in favor of women, in favor of the family, in favor of fundamental freedoms,” said Rodrigo Iván Cortés, president of the National Front for the Family. “Let the three powers of the union listen to us: executive, legislative and judicial. Let them listen loud and clear: we do not want more deaths, we want more life, we do not want them to legalize the crime of abortion, we want them to protect the pregnant woman and the baby that she carries within her.”

Flawed Marist Poll Misleadingly Shows Low Support for Abortion Restrictions

Results from a new Marist poll would suggest that only a minority of Americans support pro-life legislation that would limit abortion to the first six weeks of pregnancy. Upon closer examination of the poll's wording, it's clear why some pro-life respondents would have disapproved of such legislation.

Marist surveyed over 1200 people in late September in a poll conducted with NPR and PBS. The poll asked respondents, "Do you support or oppose a law that allows abortions, but only up to the time cardiac activity is detected about 6 to 8 weeks into pregnancy?" 

Pro-life Catholic Professor Michael New explained the problem on Twitter earlier this month. He wrote,
"A significant number of pro-lifers said that they would oppose a (hypothetical) law that would explicitly allow abortions up to 6-8 weeks gestation. 

This is because they want legal protection for *all* unborn children.

That likely explains why the results are skewed."

The poll initially surprised many, because the results suggested Republicans were only three percent more likely than Democrats to support legislation that limited abortion to the first six months of pregnancy. However, the results could realistically come from pro-life respondents who believe life should be protected from the moment of conception. A law that "allows abortions, but only up to the time cardiac activity is detected" specifically excludes unborn children from any right to life before they reach a certain gestational age.

Liberty Counsel Sends Demand Letter to NorthShore University HealthSystem to Protect Conscience Rights

Some healthcare workers at NorthShore University HealthSystem have attempted to request religious exemption requests from the COVID shot mandate. When these exemptions are requested due to the association with aborted fetal cell lines that all available shots have, however, NorthShore has rejected them. Liberty Counsel sent a letter of demands to the NorthShore on behalf of 14 workers whom Liberty Counsel says "have been unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate."

According to Illinois Review, NorthShore had previously granted exemptions for some employees but then denied them in mid-September. The company then gave those employees three days to file an appeal, but it did not tell the employees what information was missing in the original application. The appeal required employees to provide vaccine history information that was not required in the initial application.

Illinois Review also reported that NorthShore changed the exemption form to include a warning that all exemptions based on “aborted fetal cell lines, stem cells, tissue or derivative materials will result in denials.” The form falsely claims that COVID shots have no connection to aborted fetal cell lines.

Liberty Counsel cited the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act that protects Illinoisans against discrimination based on health care choices. The law states:
“It shall be unlawful for any person, public or private institution, or public official to discriminate against any person in any manner, including but not limited to, licensing, hiring, promotion, or any other privileges, because of such person's conscientious refusal to receive, obtain, accept or participate in any way in any particular form of health care services contrary to his or her conscience”

Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said in a statement, “NorthShore University Health System must obey state and federal law and grant reasonable accommodations to its employees whose sincere religious beliefs prohibit them from receiving these COVID shots. NorthShore must also revise its deceptive and unlawful religious exemption form.”

Montana District Judge Extends Injunctions Against Three Pro-Life Laws

Late last Thursday, Montana District Judge Michael Moses issued a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of three pro-life laws. This injunction extends his original order which blocked the laws the day before their Oct. 1 effective date.

The Montana Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act bans the abortion of unborn children after 20 weeks of development.

House Bill 140 requires abortionists to give abortion-minded women the ability to view an ultrasound of their children.

HB171 regulates the use of abortion drugs by requiring women to give informed consent to their use, requiring these women to visit an abortion business in person, and prohibiting the distribution of abortion drugs through the mail.

Judge Moses said he blocked the laws because they would cause "irreparable harm" to Planned Parenthood and women by taking away a constitutionally protected right.

Oklahoma Judge Blocks Two Abortion Laws but Allows Three Others

Oklahoma District Judge Cindy Truong placed injunctions against two state laws that would have restricted abortion, but she also upheld three others, two of which restrict the use of abortion pills.

One of the temporarily blocked laws prohibits abortion after the detection of a child's heartbeat, while the other would allow the state to revoke the medical licenses of doctors who commit abortions that are not necessary to save the life of the mother.

The three laws that are still set to go into effect on Nov. 1 include a law that requires abortionists to be board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and two laws that enact safety regulations on the use of abortion pills. These regulations are an effort by Oklahoma to reinstate longstanding FDA regulations no longer enforced under the Biden administration.

Chicago Planned Parenthood Hospitalized Woman After Perforating Her Uterus

Records obtained by the Pro-Life Action League recently revealed that the Neart North Planned Parenthood in Chicago hospitalized a woman after causing a critical life-threatening injury.

A 911 recording and event printout provided by the Pro-Life Action League revealed that an ambulance was called to the Planned Parenthood location on July 15, 2021. It was dispatched under priority code 1A, meaning that the emergency was considered critical.

The Planned Parenthood employee who spoke with the 911 dispatcher said that the patient might have a perforation. This can occur when the metal instruments used during a dilation and evacuation abortion tear through the lining of a woman's uterus. This is a life-threatening injury that can cause severe bleeding and damage to internal organs.


Operation Rescue has documented a total of 24 medical emergencies at the Neart North Planned Parenthood in the past five years. Most of these involved uncontrolled hemorrhaging, which can be caused by uterine perforations and cervical lacerations.
