Woman injured during ‘complicated’ abortion procedure in Ohio

A 911 call obtained by Cincinnati Right to Life reveals that a woman was injured recently at an abortion facility in Dayton, Ohio.

The incident happened on October 25 at Women’s Med Center of Dayton. An ambulance was called for the 33-year-old woman who was experiencing bleeding due to a “difficult procedure.”

During the 911 audio, the caller from the abortion facility can be heard asking for transport for a patient. She has very little information to share with the dispatcher as to the patient’s status or the actual nature of the problem; she simply describes it as a “complicated procedure” several times before elaborating that the patient is bleeding from her cervix.

Women’s Med Center of Dayton is owned by late abortionist Martin Haskell, who was a pioneer of the D&X abortion procedure, commonly known as “partial-birth” abortion. The facility has been the site of a number of abortion injuries over the years; most recently, a woman was transported to a hospital in July after experiencing “severe cyclic vomiting and intense abdominal pain.”

According to its website, the facility commits abortions through 22 weeks of pregnancy — past the age at which children have survived outside the womb. At this late age, preborn children are killed through the dilation and evacuation procedure (D&E), in which the child is pulled apart limb by limb as it is taken from its mother’s womb. The procedure comes with a risk of significant complications, including uterine perforation, excessive bleeding and hemorrhaging, cervical damage, and possible damage to the bowel, bladder, rectum, and other maternal organs.

“For decades, Dayton Right to Life has been alarming the community of this facility’s medical care transgressions. Year after year, women are hospitalized and babies die at the hands of their abortionists,” said Margie Christie, Executive Director of Dayton Right to Life.

“If abortion is healthcare, why does this facility not follow medical best practices and share medical details with the emergency personnel?”

She also highlighted the upcoming Ohio ballot measure looking to enshrine a right to abortion in the state’s constitution.

“Clearly this is another reason to stop Issue 1. Women need these current protections in place, now more than ever. Why would we allow these facilities to operate without oversight?” she said. “Ohioans need to protect women by voting NO on Issue 1.”
