- Pro-Life Action League says a recent 911 call from the Planned Parenthood in Aurora, Illinois, shows how little they truly “care, no matter what” about women’s safety. When the emergency operator asks for the patient’s condition, the PP staffer offers nothing – except instructions on where to park:

- Priests for Life notes that horrific conditions in abortion facilities are the norm, not the exception.
- ProLife NZ comments on the Academy Award-winning film, 12 Years a Slave, drawing comparisons between abortion and slavery:
Just like the current practice of abortion, slavery was once a culturally accepted norm that most people either supported or were unwilling to publicly express their opposition to.
- ProWomanProLife extrapolates on how the Pill is not a good thing for women:
It forces women to take an artificial hormone every day. It causes side effects including physical pain and mental problems. It makes us dumb and dumber about the way our own bodies work. It changes incentives so that women and men who aren’t remotely compatible sleep together – causing untold emotional pain and the odd “unwanted” baby, now to be considered an ill-begotten side effect.
- Reproductive Research Audit’s Dr. Jacqueline Harvey writes an open letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer refuting her statement that “women take birth control, more than half of them, as a medication for other conditions.” Harvey was asked to evaluate Boxer’s statement for Politifact:
In sum, contraception is overwhelmingly the reason why women use contraceptives, while any secondary and tertiary side-effects are a mere afterthought of most users according to the study the senator herself hides behind to authenticate her statement. While Sen. Boxer’s choice to pull one figure from a larger study makes her carefully-worded statement appear half-true, it is completely false. Truly, it is also completely offensive.
- Secular Pro-Life has an informative article and graphic (shown below, from nyc41percent.com) showing how New York is completely backwards when it comes to the life issue:
New York City may not have a desire to inspect its abortion facilities, but it is very interested in policing the interactions that pro-life pregnancy centers have with the mothers who come to them for pregnancy tests, sonograms, counseling, diapers, and other assistance. The City has spent who knows how much money defending its unconstitutional anti-pregnancy-center law in court for the past three years.SPL also notes that “no woman has ever had her uterus perforated, had pieces of her dead fetus left inside her, or hemorrhaged to death at a pro-life pregnancy center.”

Did that 911 operator seem a bit irked? Did the caller seem a bit flippant? Don’t schoolchildren know enough to inform 911 of the nature of an emergency? Yet “medical” people don’t?
The woman could have fainted for any number of reasons, its essential that 911 know exactly what personnel and services it needs to send.

Thanks for sharing the SPL story. I just want to clarify that while the commentary is ours, the graphic comes from 41% NYC.

“Women’s healthcare” my eye, this is bullcrap. No healthcare facility calls 911 and does not have a healthcare professional (usually a nurse) give a basic status report of why you are calling so the paramedics have some idea of what they are dealing with. There is no excuse for this pathetic lack of information, you can cost loss of precious time, lack of preparation, lack of proper equipment, all of these can cost a patient their life. The fire department and hospital ought to raise hell with PP ”don’t call 911 if you cannot give us a status report so we know what to expect”. ” PP in Chicago already killed Tonya Reaves when paramedics were called 5 1/2 hours too late because PP was trying to avoid “looking bad” and then Northwestern Medical Center ended up with a dead patient (they also ended up with their name on the lawsuit). The Fire Dept. and hospital should tell them “We are not taking the fall for you and we are not getting sued for your negligence. Follow the proper protocol, you know the drill”

Hi PLL,
Tiller’s staff called 911 while Christin Gilbert was having CPR performed on her in the next room, and only requested a “transport” and asked for no lights or sirens! Good grief there’s a young woman dying in the next room and this is your only concern? They even put 911 on hold while running to check on the patient and even then couldn’t give an accurate status report.
In an emergency who cares if the rescue squad blows a foghorn, just get here!! I understand the medics, who were shocked to see how serious the situation really was, had to push the staff aside as they were so incompetent in even basic CPR and airway management.
Truly caring about women’s safety.

Hi Mary. How are you? This makes me so angry I could spit. This is ridiculous. Thanks for your input Mary. Like I said “women’s healthcare” my eye, this is bullcrap!!!
The protection of the abortion industry at all cost. Pro-aborts justify the practices of Tiller the Killer, Gosnell the Spine Slitter and fight against medical regulations and health inspections while the abortion-lover-in-chief in the WH has never seen an abortion he didn’t love or even a born alive infant who did not deserve a death sentence because they are an “undue burden” on the abortionist and the mother. He will fight for PP no matter what. What a mess we are in. Sorry for the rant but this is pathetic.

I’m fine thank you PLL and I hope all is well with you. Thank you for your input as well.
Its not like we’re talking rocket science here. Just basic information such as is the patient conscious, talking, short of breath, breathing on her own, bleeding, complaining of chest pain or a severe headache, or suffering numbness or paralysis can be very helpful and save valuable time. Also, I would expect that the abortion mill staff would know if the patient is diabetic or epileptic. Well, maybe that’s pushing it. However, that would also be crucial information.
How difficult is this?

Not difficult at all unless you have something you are trying to hide or you don’t know what the heck you are doing. Then you definitely need to be SHUT DOWN!! It is so sad when you have worked to preserve health and save lives of mothers and babies when you know PP is throwing babies in the garbage calling it ’women’s healthcare” and “reproductive health services” when it is all about destroying reproduction, destroying health, negligent care and mutilating an innocent life.
How many women have been rendered sterile after abortions? How many end up maimed and losing their reproductive organs by having ectopic pregnancies, a perforated uterus, a perforated bowel, PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease), and being infected with STDs with non-sterile instruments and equipment? Women aren’t going to tell and the abortuaries sure aren’t going to tell.
Take care Mary. God bless.
