Kansas abortion facility seriously injures woman in botched abortion

A Kansas abortion facility, located in the same building once owned and operated by late-term abortionist George Tiller, has sent another woman to the hospital.

Trust Women in Wichita had to call 911 and request an ambulance transfer just three weeks after causing another injury, according to Operation Rescue. On August 11, sidewalk counselors present outside the facility noticed a woman being wheeled out on a gurney to an ambulance.

In the 911 call, a Trust Women staffer told the operator there was a patient in her 30s who was hemorrhaging. “We have a patient post-procedure, um, with some unexpected bleeding — hemorrhage,” she said. “She’s no longer pregnant, just having some post-procedural bleeding.”

 

 

The woman was awake and breathing, but the staffer said she lost 1,300 cc (cubic centimeters) of blood so far… which would equal roughly 30%-40% of her total blood volume, making it a Class 3 hemorrhage.

According to the American College of Surgeons’ Advanced Trauma Life Support program, a Class 3 hemorrhage leads to a “significant drop in blood pressure and changes in mental status occurs. Heart rate and respiratory rate are significantly elevated (more than 120 BPM). Urine output declines. Capillary refill is delayed.”

A Class 2 hemorrhage is enough for someone to experience hypovolemic shock, which can cause complications such as kidney damage, organ failure, gangrene, and death.

Trust Women has been responsible for a number of botched abortions, many of which have involved severe hemorrhaging. This particular emergency is the second to take place in less than a month at the facility.

“Abortionists at Trust Women Wichita want women to trust them, but they are not worthy of that trust,” Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said in a statement, adding, “We are grateful for the pro-lifers on the sidewalk offering facts and hope to women on the verge of entering the doors of this dangerous facility that snatches up their blood money to kill their innocent babies. Far too many are then shipped off in an ambulance – at the patient’s expense – for emergency room doctors to attempt to save their lives.”
