Pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue has learned that a woman suffered injuries at an abortion facility in Southfield, Michigan on November 1, 2023.
A 911 caller from Northland Family Planning Center West told dispatchers the patient was “bleeding very heavily.” According to the computer-aided dispatch (CAD) transcript, the woman was 33 years old and her condition was listed as “advanced life support.” No update is known as to the extent of her injuries or her condition. It was also noted that despite the woman’s condition, she was transported without lights and sirens; this is a common request from abortion businesses who don’t wish to attract attention to the dangerous injuries occurring within their walls.
The Northland Family Planning Center is notorious for injuring women, with several clients experiencing hemorrhaging and severe bleeding after abortion procedures. In 2021, a woman was transported in critical condition due to “genitourinary abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding” after an abortion which killed her 22-week-old preborn child.
This abortion business commits abortions on women through 24 weeks — past the age at which preborn children have been able to survive outside the womb. The most common abortion procedure during the second trimester is the dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion, in which the child is torn apart limb by limb. This horrific procedure carries a number of side effects for women, including perforation or laceration of the uterus or cervix, with possible damage to the bowel, bladder, and other maternal organs. Infection and hemorrhage can also occur.
“This emergency is one of many that have occurred at this dangerous facility,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It commits abortions up to 24 weeks gestation, about the age at which my grandson was delivered prematurely last year and is now a chubby, thriving baby boy. We simply cannot stand by as the lives of these precious children are violently ended at the hands of so-called doctors.”
