Planned Parenthood’s chipper 911 call
Pro-Life Action League has just posted audio of the 911 call made from Planned Parenthood of Aurora, IL, on April 1, in conjunction with video they shot of the ambulance transport.
The PP employee is so creepily chipper. I’m guessing PP staff are now trained on the art of making an upbeat 911 call, knowing the world will someday hear it. Reminds me of the smiling mug shots we now see erstwhile politicians, movie stars, and crazy people make.
More disturbing to me, though, was the creepily chipper response from the 911 dispatcher – with no questions asked, not even a, “What’s the nature of the emergency?” This seems so odd to me. I’ve never heard a dispatcher ask so little, letting the EMTs go to PP medically blind. It’s as if Aurora 911 dispatchers have also been coached to get as little information as possible from PP calls.
And, of course, the ever-present PP ambulance concealment sheet…

Oh man, I didn’t know that mammograms and cholesterol screenings could go wrong like that.
LaraLee, I want to say “LOL!” but am not sure it’s appropriate.
they obviously go pick patients in distress all the time if she asked which door to go to. Sick.
What is with the sheet – like we don’t know there’s a person behind it ? Or maybe its a magic trick ! MAN those people are strange !
Because they “care” about women, Jim.
Perhaps here in Tx we do things differently. When I was training as a midwife, we occasionally would have to transport women in labor or shortly after birth. The dispatcher would always ask detailed questions, sex and age, known allergies, gravity and para, details of the emergency, if they needed to send one or two ambulances: in case the baby needed to be transferred as well after a birth. And they ALWAYS told us to unlock the door and turn the porch light on.
But like I said, we didn’t have that many transports and perhaps Texas just does things differently.
The dispatcher was so fast with that address, and so absolutely “question free”, it was unreal. Obviously, these people all have an “understanding” between them about 911 calls from PP on abortion day.
There is no doubt the dispatcher has been told not to ask questions when calls come in from Planned Parenthood.
It is insane to think that the EMS workers would not want details. When I was a cop the dispatchers went out of their way to provide as much information as possible. It was a key factor in how calls were handled, who was dispatched and officer safety not to mention how successful the investigation was. Ridiculous..
I wouldn’t want to accuse the 911 center of being in collusion with PP, but I am a firefighter paramedic and know that dispatchers often get complacent when handling calls at facilities they frequently send units to for similar calls. The audio suggested to me that calling for an ambulance was so routine, that the dispatcher just knew what was going on and was just expediting the call for the dispatcher’s convenience. So this PP was sending patients to the hospital regularly after a “safe , routine” procedure.
Maybe she was asking which door they should go to because she wanted to know if they needed the E.R. or the MORGUE….
Just a thought.
Always have gotten “What’s the nature of your emergency” whenever called 911. I’ve had to call a couple of times after car accidents. They always ask who was hurt, how badly hurt, what was going on, etc.
It does seem like with how little the 911 operator asked that calls from [at least that PP] is not unusual. If they’re calling THAT often, must not be THAT “safe”.
The sheet – Is to protect the identity of the patient from anti-choice eyes who will use that information for political gain.
The call – Once again it is to protect the identity of the patient from being put into political games.
You guys just see Satan hiding behind every corner… I wonder if that dispatcher has a U.S. birth certificate!!!
Same old BS cover up for PP. The police dept and PP have a collusion going on to ask no questions, I assure you. I have had to call for an ambulances for family members and have prepared patients ready for transport from one hospital to another and was always asked plenty of questions to give medical personnel a heads up for what they were dealing with.
You guys just see Satan hiding behind every corner… I wonder if that dispatcher has a U.S. birth certificate!!!
Biggz,
When it comes to abortion, yes. We tend to see Satan not just around the corner, but right smack in the middle of it. It’s very sad and unfortunate that you, and the other pro-choice/pro-aborts, don’t. I pray for the conversion of people who aren’t pro-life on pretty much a daily basis. I hope one day we can all stand together united against abortion. It’s a very horrible and sad that human beings can encourage, allow and promote mothers killing their offspring in such a way.
MIT, good observation. They didn’t even have to ASK what the “nature” of the emergency was.
Well MIT, I do not believe in something nobody can prove even exists… I have no need of a scapegoat because I take responsibility for the bad things in my life.
This is all in response to you people sticking your nose in other people’s business instead of minding your own. Hospitals don’t have religious zealots watching their every move for a small piece of nothing they can skew to make a political point. Nobody wants to have their personal pictures, medical info, license plates, or pictures of their family members posted on a “Murders” anti-choice website, or even a “Wanted Poster”.
It is a bit rich for someone to listen to someone else’s emergency 911 calls looking for political tools to say “Why are they being so secretive?” BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING!!!
Biggz, the thing really cracking me up right now about this whole post is the comment that says “They obviously go pick patients in distress all the time if she asked which door to go to. Sick.” What kind of moronic reasoning is that?! If the paramedics go there “all the time” WOULDN’T THEY KNOW WHICH DOOR TO GO IN?!
This is ridiculous. No matter what the PP employee had sounded like– chipper, scared, nervous, nonchalant, calm, panicked, WHATAVER– you’d all be connecting some invisible dots and crying foul. Nothing Planned Parenthood *ever* does, even when it’s the most medically professional action the situation calls for, will be good enough for you; why do you paint this as though there’s a tone and response you would have “preferred” here? I’m baffled by the tinfoil hat logic being casually thrown around here.
Biggz
Should someone ever decide to dismember, burn or kill you with a solution perhaps you will appreciate that SOMEONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION. Of course you would not be as selective as to who did the rescueing and people you considered challenged might look a little different. What are you thoughts? Good and/or decent people usually don’t fit this worlds standard but when you consider what this world is involved in maybe thats a good thing. And while were on the subject of mental soundness I will remind you that you are for the killing of the unborn. Crunch those facts and see what conclusion you arrive at.
Hey – 911 calls are always listened to – and someone can use one in a civil suit, cities and response teams review them to see if their response was appropriate for the circumstance, and yes – even the 911 calls (for example for Michael Jackson) can be used used at trial. Public safety comes first. No games – everyone is supposed to be helping people stay safe and well.
Every time I have reported an accident, the operators ask about the nature of the emergency and they ask for my name. No problem. I’m not sure what happened here.
No questions about the patient’s condition? Are EMTs or the more advanced trained paramedics needed? Which door do we pick her up at? I know what you mean Elizabeth G. about the 911 dispatcher getting all the necessary information. Shouldn’t the emergency team be prepared by knowing exactly what situation they are getting into and be prepared?
Recording calls also protects the 911 dispatcher in the event of legal action.
Between the epilepsy, leukemia, Wilson’s Disease and the Juvenile Dermatomitocitis we had to ride in an ambulance on more than one occasion. Once after he was doing better he was having a little stomach ache he politely informed me that he needed an ambulance. We have excellent ambulance service where I live. When he was initially diagnosed with epilepsy he had four grand mal seizures one right after the other. I thought he was dying he was so pale. 911 where I live are caring and very professional. Same for the ambulance service.
I’m sure the EMTs or paramedics would appreciate having some idea as to what situation they are stepping into so as to be prepared. Is the patient hemorrhaging? Is she suffering a life threatening allergic reaction? Is she a diabetic having an insulin reaction? An epileptic having a seizure? Someone who collapsed for unknown reasons?
Are her vital signs stable? Is she responsive? Is there a possiblity of a stroke or heart attack? Is CPR in progress?
This dispatcher is seriously derelict in her responsilbilities. Since when do 911 dispatchers just assume there is no cause for concern?
Ok let’s be clear here. The 911 operator was taking a call from a medical clinic where nurses and DOCTORS are on staff. This was not a call from Jim Bob out on Back Woods Lane about the fish hook he got in his eye. If a patient is being moved from one medical facility to another by ambulance only pertinent medical information is given to the EMT’s, but if there is none then they are just a medical taxi.
I think the most disturbing part of this story is watching you guys take the smallest bit of nothing information and spin it into a huge conspiracy like Glen Beck. You guys are really showing the level of your paranoid delusions.
Myrtle – Once again a fetus is not a person and I am. For your information I have been on fire, as most of my right leg was burned when I was 5yo. You remind me of one of those pink haired ladies who treats her poodle like a baby and dresses them up in cute little outfits… No matter how much you try to convince yourself that this dog is like one of your kids it is still a lie because it is a dog. A fetus or zygote is not a person, however it is developing inside of a real person and that real person has rights. You try to take some of those rights away because of your own perceived moral high ground.
You are so right Mary not only is 911 dispatch derelict in her duties but for a self-identified “RN” to not give some heads up to paramedics is as well. The list of potential problems as you have listed are indicitive of why they need some idea of what they are dealing with. No, not giving a detailed report or anything about the patients’s identity, that would be inappropriate but as I noted earlier there is some collusion that has been worked out with APD and PP so they can keep their life-threatening, life-ending business hush-hush. I can guarantee you that they would NOT have transfered this patient unless it was life-threatening, they would have continued to handle the situation themselves (pumping in IVs, administering oxygen, changing her position, Trendelenburg probably, pumping meds into her, etc.) if they could have they would have but they did not want to risk having a DOA (Dead On Arrival) to the hospitial on their hands, it would be too embarrassing and more importantly, the lawsuit would be too expensive. PP always about the bottom line ya-know.
Again a Dog is not a rat is not a pig is not a cow is not a boy.
But a boy or a girl are humans – and it doesn’t matter if they are in utero or out. Human? Yes – then let’s welcome them to the family instead of creating artificial distinctions of worth that can help determine if they live or die by arbitrary measurements.
And a human Embryo or Zygote is a human – person hood is a non-issue. If you are human, you are part of our human family and all have worth.
Removing rights? The fundamental rights in this country are the right to LIFE, liberty and happiness.
No right to life is removed other than by pro-choicers and pro-abortion people. Other non-lifers are the ones who want to assist suicide, futile-care theory, have only certain patients cared for in hospitals/clinics – once you have stripped the human protections of some humans, all humans are in danger of being deemed: unwanted, too expensive, un-human, not worth the time/energy/money/resources etc…
Personally, it’s much nicer to be nice to everyone – not to just some.
Biggz
My dog is a very smart mutt and refuses to wear cute little outfits although she just got a new collar. I’m sorry you received burns to your leg and hope you’ve made a complete recovery. A fetus or a zygote is a person. If you believe it is nothing then wheres the argument. If you leave nothing alone that’s what you’ll end up with. If you leave a zygote or fetus alone it develops into a person. The zygote or fetus is just the beginning stages. I understand your concern for peoples rights you just need to expand that belief to include the little person that is temporarily seeking shelter in it’s mothers womb. And I’m not sure if you’ve ever been transported to a medical facility via ambulance but I know from having had to ride in them with my son that it is standard protocol to exchange information about the patients condition like the vital signs and any other information they think has merit. I’m not sure if you still deal with pain issues from your burn but there is a product called Coral Reef Calcium it’s natural and is really good in treating pain. The one they sell at the GNC centers is very effective. The reason I defend unborn babies is because I still think they are a gift from God and the only moral ground I can stand on is grace. When my son was still having to go to another city for medical treatment we had to ride with medical transport. One of the drivers had been burned over almost his entire body. He was always so cheerful and his life consisted of pain on a daily basis. I’m not sure how he done it. Seeing him deal with his pain helped me to better deal with mine. If you decide to try the Coral Reef Calcium it comes in a brown bottle with a silver and blue label. And it has Dr.Barefoot on the label. If your allergic to fish you can’t take it. Hope this helps. When they burn the baby in it’s mothers womb it doesn’t recieve any help just more pain while it is only a short distance from it’s mothers arm and an individual who took an oath to protect life.
I’m with Mary on this. It is hard to believe that so little pertinent info on the patient’s condition was shared. Abortion supporters here are so busy making up excuses they cannot see the forest for the trees. What if it had been one of their loved ones who was on that stretcher and due to the ineptitude or the collusion of those involved with the response that proper treatment was not administered? Actually this may have turned out terribly…how would we know unless either the victim or someone from the familiy came forward?
It would be interesting to know what the responses were for all 911 calls from pp during the past four years and whether the same type of response was given by different dispatchers. And then compare those responses to other 911 calls in Aurora. People familiar with the Aurora pp scene would not be surprised if some major inconsistencies were discovered.
Sorry, Biggz–no “paranoid delusions” here, just reality.
Yes Biggz – I hope for relief from your pain also. Hope you are healing. Your worth, however is not contingent on a perfect leg or skin or being pain-free. You are part of the human race and have worth. Sorry you have had a rough go of it…
We will root for you too, as we do for the children. We are all part of that human family and all have worth just because we are. Hope that one day you will cherish all, in all circumstances, in all situations. It does not have to be an either/or scenario – but a both/and. love both the child and the mom. Help both the child and the mom. No need to choose one over the other – both have worth and both can have help and love.

I’m not sure I’m just assuming but I would think the majority of the people who go to Planned Parenthood are probably economically challenged. Often when people are economically challenged there not always given the same type of medical care. And the very fact that there at a disadvantage usually means they can’t afford legal counsel. That’s another reason why I’m against socialized medicine but for quality health care.
I just listened to the call again, showing my husband, and all the caller says is, we need to transport “someone” to the ER.
Seriously, no other questions? Not even male/female? For all the dispatcher knows, it was the male abortionist after being struck down by God.
Well MIT, I do not believe in something nobody can prove even exists… I have no need of a scapegoat because I take responsibility for the bad things in my life.
Believing in the existence of Satan doesn’t negate one’s responsbility for one’s actions. Satan is a tempter–he wants to get people to do evil, bad things. So while we have the ability to decide whether or not we’re going to, he’s definitely there interested in the outcome of that decision. And, yes, I do take responsibility for the bad decisions I’ve made in my life, but I also know Satan WANTS me to do bad things because he doesn’t want me to go to Heaven.
You don’t have to believe in Satan, or God. Nowhere in my post did I say “Biggz, you must believe in the existence of God and Satan.” I just said that pro-lifers (or at least the ones who do believe in the existence of God and Satan) see Satan right smack dab in the middle of abortion–not just around the corners.
This is all in response to you people sticking your nose in other people’s business instead of minding your own. Hospitals don’t have religious zealots watching their every move for a small piece of nothing they can skew to make a political point. Nobody wants to have their personal pictures, medical info, license plates, or pictures of their family members posted on a “Murders” anti-choice website, or even a “Wanted Poster”.
We weren’t asking for a photo of the person–at least I wasn’t. I was more confused as to way the 911 Operator didn’t ask for more details since typically they do. The very fact that they didn’t and asked which door means 911 has sent paramedics over there often enough to ask which door and perhaps used to emergencies at PP so they didn’t ask which I found horrifying.
A fetus or zygote is not a person…
Biggz,
Tell me, if the fetus isn’t a person, then what is it? Some other species? If so, what species? If the species is homosapian, that makes said fetus a human being, since homosapian is human. If not, then I seriously want to know what species said fetus is because my offspring is human, not puppy or kitten. The ultrasounds never showed anything other than human being. Apparently you know something about the pre-born that I don’t know even after having gone through pregnancy and birth.
Biggz 9:47PM
All the more reason why the staff should know the importance of informing the 911 operator exactly what is happening and absolutely no excuse for the 911 dispatcher not to ask. There are times Biggz when more advanced life support or extra people are needed. Its the job of the dispatcher to find out exactly what the problem is and send the appropriate help, not to just assume what is needed.
Hi Jerry and Prolifer L,
Either there is some collusion to protect PP, which is absolutely criminal as far as I’m concerned, or this dispatcher is a total incompetent.
911 tapes are used in criminal investigations, lawsuits, and courtroom trials. They are scrutinized and analyzed. 911 operators certainly know they can be held accountable for their incompetent management of an emergency situation.
I stopped at the scene of an accident and the 911 dispatcher kept me on the phone to keep her appraised of the victims’ conditions (and I assume the paramedics en route informed), until the paramedics arrived. The chipper, indifferent dispatcher in this video is appallling.
You are so right Mary. I do pray that this woman is alright but unfortunately I am sure that her unborn baby is not alright but was DOA, much more fortunate than his or her mother.

Hi myrtle:
We see a lot of traffic at the local PP. Many of the drivers come and go in late model cars and SUVs. It is a diverse economic profile of clients. One of our prolifers did a cost comparison of services between the local VNA and PP. The VNA actually had lower costs for most comparable services.
