Pro-life vid of day: Clinic escorts deny facts from IL DOH report
by Kelli
Pro-Life Action League representatives recently visited Albany Medical-Surgical Center, a Chicago late-term abortion facility, and presented the clinic escorts there with information that the facility has been fined $50,000 by the Illinois Department of Health and is operating under a revoked license.
Their reaction? What you’d expect. No interest in the facts. Instead, they handled the documents the same way the clinic handles preborn children.
Like garbage:

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Typical escort attitude: “Nothing to see here. Move along. Don’t open my eyes with the truth.”
I would certainly provide copies of the IL DOH document to women entering the facility.
Shouldn’t license revocation mean immediate or imminent closure?
I was wondering that too, MoJoanne.
Sad that the deathscorts are so close-minded and unwilling to look at the facts of the situation.
Apparently people who think it’s just fine to kill the unborn also don’t know how to read and don’t care if the abortions are ‘safe’.
Their response is probably due to the messenger rather than the message. When someone who makes a constant nuisance of themselves offers you something you’re bound to balk at it.
Especially if the info is true, right, Reality?
There is some really jaw-dropping reading in those papers at the link. I”d recommend that everyone take a look at them.
The main violations the clinic is cited for are:
a) They failed to have a licensed physician present at all times there were patients in recovery, as required by state law. It seems that whenever a doctor botches an abortion and has to accompany a patient to the ER, there often isn’t another doctor on hand who can cover for him. How often does that happen? Well that brings us to
b) The clinic was cited for failure to keep proper statistics to give to the state. It seems that for the first three quarters of 2014 they told the state that 0 patients had needed transfer (to the ER). But investigators found that internal patient data indicated that 7 patients were actually transferred during that period. The person interviewed at the clinic basically admitted this, and actually complained that it just took too long to enter these things manually into the statistical reports. In fact, they had not done so for the last four years.
Thank God the state revoked their license! Now they just have to enforce it.
Sooo, Reality, keep this in mind the next time you try to insist that according to the statistics, abortion is safer for women than childbirth. ‘Cause there’s a whole lot of lying going on in them there statistics.
Hey guys — Matt from the Pro-Life Action League here.
The reason they’re not closed yet is that the IDPH has moved to revoke their license but that request was stayed until further hearings take place. So they were served a notice of license revocation, but it’s not enforceable until these hearings move forward. The next one is on June 29, so please keep that in your prayers.
We’re keeping the pressure on as the process moves forward, in fact we just protested there on Saturday with a great crowd of pro-lifers!
“When someone who makes a constant nuisance of themselves offers you something you’re bound to balk at it.”
And yet you continue to comment on this blog. Curious.
Especially if the info is true, right, Reality? – not particularly.
Abortion has a lower maternal mortality rate than full-term delivery, by quite some measure.
And yet you continue to comment on this blog. Curious. – as do you JoAnna, along with a number of others. I don’t find it all that curious :-)
It’s impossible to say how safe abortion is in the United States when only 26 states require providers to report injuries and complications from abortion.
Reliability is further undermined by the fact that the standard practice of abortion clinics is to tell patients not to return to the clinics in the event of complications but to go to the nearest emergency room. Clinics don’t see the complications and have nothing to report.
As one researcher noted, “[m]any state health departments are able to obtain only incomplete data from abortion providers, and in some states, only 40 to 50 percent of abortions are reported.”
Likewise, the count of maternal deaths from abortion is based on death certificates, but medical studies have documented the inaccuracy of death certificates. As researchers have noted, abortions “cannot be linked to other sources of health data such as birth or death certificates, thereby making precise calculation of mortality rates or subsequent birth outcomes impossible.”
Consequently, the assertion that “abortion is safer than childbirth” is completely untenable. It’s based on a comparison of the official published abortion mortality rate (approximately 0.6 deaths per 100,000 abortions) and the official published childbirth mortality rate (approximately 6 deaths per 100,000 births). This comparison is completely misleading. A former director of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, acknowledged that the two rates are measured differently and should not be compared.
In contrast, most states link birth and death certificates, which means that childbirth deaths are more accurately monitored. The count of abortion deaths only includes direct deaths, while the count of childbirth deaths includes direct and indirect deaths (like homicides and suicides while pregnant), thereby inflating the childbirth death count.
The national system for counting childbirth deaths is thorough and long-standing, while there is no national system for counting abortion deaths based on legally mandated reporting. A handful of undiscovered abortion deaths in any state would affect the abortion morality rate significantly. In June 2011, for example, the Chicago Tribune reported that six abortion deaths and 4,000 injuries in Illinois abortion clinics had never been reported to the Illinois Department of Health.
In contrast to the United States’ dysfunctional system, there is a growing body of international, peer-reviewed medical studies from dozens of countries finding long-term increased risks to women from abortion. Maternal mortality studies from Scandinavian countries with superior abortion record keeping collection and reporting systems have found a higher rate of abortion mortality than childbirth mortality.

A piece of commentary based on anecdotes (“As one researcher noted” – which researcher? In which field? Based on what data?) written by a well known anti-choicer?
Both your links take me to the same article.

Clinic escorts deny facts from IL DOH report
So I’m thinking of a report on Homer Simpson, hitting himself in the head and saying, “DOH!”
