Pro-life vid of day: Illinois abortion clinic’s urgent 911 call
by Kelli
Abortion is sold as a quick, easy, uncomplicated procedure that only takes a few minutes. But botched abortions are happening more often than the abortion industry would care for the public to know.
On February 25, 2015, a 911 call was made from National Health Care, Inc., an abortion facility in Peoria, Illinois, reporting a patient who was bleeding heavily and needed emergency assistance.
Several times, the staff member says, “We need someone very quickly.” No age is given (it seems the staffers who call 911 rarely have the patient charts in hand), and the 911 dispatcher has to ask several times for further details on the patient.
For this patient and many others, abortion was not a quick and easy or safe procedure:

Neither was it quick, easy, and safe for this woman at the Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 7th.

One would think a “health care facility” caller would have such crucial information as the patient’s age, vital signs (assuming they’ve been monitored) level of consciousness, whether or not she is breathing, and overall health. Is she morbidly obese and extra help may be needed? When assisting during a medical emergency at church I was able to give the 911 operator far more information and I didn’t have monitors or know anything about the woman.
But then one would think there would be medical professionals in a “health care facility” who understand how crucial this information is to the paramedics.
I remember one mill worker on the phone with 911 acting like she was ordering a pizza. And some requesting no lights or sirens. How very professional. Putting the “health of women” first. Always.
I would love to hear the stories of paramedics and the doctors waiting to SAVE the lives of mothers after being injured in abortion.
Gads. I bet the “clean up” they have to do is very difficult.
Hi Carla,
So good to see you my friend!
Another point here, does this hack have admitting privileges, or does this fall on the ER doctor, staff, and the physician(s) on call to determine exactly what happened? A perforation? DIC? A uterus that can’t clamp down. Lots of possibilities with literally seconds and minutes to make the right call. Just pray the paramedics could get an IV or we’re really in a jam. They are excellent but when a patient has very low blood volume, it can be challenging to say the least, if not impossible.
So you see why I support admitting privileges. I think at very least this hack should be responsible for his/her patient. In all fairness, maybe he/she does have them.
I have to admit, I sometimes miss my ER days!!
Hi Carla,
I did some editing but it didn’t work.
You ask about the ER end of this. The paramedics would call in and of course do the basics, such as an IV. How we pray they can get one in!
Otherwise a more complicated and time consuming procedure to put a line in will have to be done in ER. Blood and fluids will be poured in.
As I said we have minutes, sometimes seconds to make the right call, and hopefully we do.
The patient has uncontrolled bleeding. If this is DIC its our, and her, worst nightmare. Maybe we can reverse it in time. I watched a young mother bleed to death. Its a horror. Hopefully its surgical, at least we know what it is and can hopefully save her life, and her uterus.
Maybe its not surgical and the patient needs pitocin, along with blood and fluids.
This is the situation that will be faced by the ER staff and physician(s) on call.
Hello Mary!!
So good to see you too!!
How horrifying for ER staff! I can’t imagine.
And the abortionist? Stretch. Yawn. Drive on home after a long day of empowering women.
