Operation Rescue<\/a> has obtained 911 phone records revealing a call from a Planned Parenthood<\/a> in Austin, Texas, in which a patient needed emergency assistance because she was “bleeding excessively.” While excessive bleeding can be a very serious complication after an abortion, what’s troubling is that the Planned Parenthood caller downplayed the urgency of the matter, requesting that the responding ambulance turn off its sirens.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at the Planned Parenthood<\/a> on Austin’s Ben Boulevard on January 25, 2019. The caller states that they “did a balloon” on the patient, but it didn’t seem to help. The balloon refers to an intrauterine tamponade balloon<\/a>, which is sometimes used to stop bleeding after a woman gives birth. As the balloon inflates, it puts pressure on the blood vessels, causing them to stop bleeding. However, the balloon was designed specifically for women who have given birth. According to Operation Rescue, abortionists have adopted it for use to stop hemorrhaging due to abortion complications, but since abortion is much different from childbirth it doesn’t always work.<\/p>\n
