Operation Rescue has received the 911 transcripts of two emergency calls made from Hope Clinic for Women, an Illinois abortion facility with a long reputation of injuring women. In both calls, which occurred within two weeks of each other, dispatchers seemed oddly casual, only asking for patient ages and no further information on the women’s injuries.
In the first call, which occurred on September 19, both the abortion facility employee and 911 dispatcher were incredibly blasé in their treatment of the woman in distress.
“Hi, this is Kelly from Hope Clinic. We need an ambulance to take a patient,” the caller cheerfully said. The dispatcher was equally dismissive, saying she would send one over but asking no pertinent information to assess the patient’s situation.
Calling for an ambulance is the last thing any abortion facility wants to do; it isn’t a good look for them while they tout the “safety” of abortion. Making an emergency call to 911 implies that the situation must have been dangerous. However, the abortion facility worker described none of the woman’s complications to the dispatcher, meaning emergency personnel had no knowledge as to what kind of help the woman needed.
The second call took place on October 5. At that time, the abortion facility caller said a transfer was needed immediately to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, a Level One trauma center across the Illinois-Missouri border in St. Louis. That kind of request would infer that a serious injury had occurred, but again, the 911 dispatcher asked the patient’s age and nothing else.

The fact that the dispatcher(s) on these 911 calls sought no information on injuries could indicate one of two things: either emergency services have become accustomed to the types of injuries occurring most commonly at Hope Clinic due to their frequency, or there is a deliberate effort to prevent any information about abortion injuries from being disclosed on calls which could later become public knowledge.
“The lack of urgency in the voices of the women responding to these emergencies is distressing when you consider that a mom in each situation had likely already facilitated the death of her child and lay in a bed suffering, perhaps bleeding out,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue. Newman speculates that “the regularity of these emergencies has obviously diminished sensitivity on the part of dispatchers….”
Ambulance requests have become almost a regular occurrence at Hope Clinic for Women, which has a long history of injuring women. The Granite City, Illinois, abortion business advertises the killing of preborn children as late as 27 weeks, six days — well past the time when these children could survive outside the womb with proper care.
