Two more abortion injuries were reported this summer at Illinois abortion facilities, and one of the victims is just 16 years old.

Key Takeaways:

• On July 15, staff at the Planned Parenthood facility in Aurora called 911 to report "heavy bleeding."

• Two weeks later, on July 29, the Alamo Women's Clinic in Carbondale called about a 16-year-old girl who had experienced a "complication."

• Illinois is one of the most pro-abortion states in the country and has few regulations to protect women from the abortion industry.

The Details:

According to the pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue, two women were reported injured at Illinois abortion facilities in July.

The first took place on July 15, at Planned Parenthood's facility in Aurora. The victim was a 26-year-old woman who reportedly was experiencing heavy bleeding. As is common in the abortion industry, the staff requested that the ambulance come to the side doors instead of the front entrance, and without lights and sirens, in an effort to keep the injury hidden from the public.

The staffer who called 911 refused to provide any meaningful information about what happened to the woman.

"We just need her to be transported where they have a little bit more equipment to be able to properly continue her care for today," the staffer said. It was only after the dispatcher pressed for more information that the staffer admitted the victim had been undergoing an abortion procedure and was experiencing heavy bleeding.

It was recently discovered that the same facility had to call 911 on July 24 for a woman who had no pulse. Planned Parenthood Aurora has a long history of injuring women, including multiple instances last year alone. It also asks ambulances to arrive without lights or sirens, which can delay timely care for the patient.

On July 29, another injury occurred, this time at Alamo Women's Clinic in Carbondale, and the victim was a 16-year-old girl. The full 911 call has not yet been released, but Operation Rescue was able to obtain a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) report, which revealed the girl had a complication after a "procedure," likely an abortion.

The Carbondale facility is owned by abortionist Alan Braid, who runs it with his daughter, clinic manager Andrea Gallegos. He has a second location in New Mexico, where he relocated from Texas after Roe v. Wade was overturned. He had already been breaking Texas law by committing illegal abortions even after the Texas Heartbeat Act was in place.

The Big Picture:

Illinois is one of the top abortion destinations in the country, attracting a large number of out-of-state women. It has some of the most pro-abortion policies in the country, largely thanks to JB Pritzker, the billionaire governor who founded his own 501(c)4 to promote pro-abortion state constitutional amendments across the country.

Illinois passed the Reproductive Health Act in 2019, which made abortion a "fundamental right," requiring it to be treated as a health care procedure, and forcing all insurance companies to cover elective abortions. Non-physicians are permitted to commit abortions in Illinois, and the state has been considering even more pro-abortion bills this year, some of which have already passed.
