A woman who was experiencing severe pain after an abortion at\u00a0Access Health Center abortion facility in Downers Grove, Illinois, had to demand staffers call her an ambulance after the abortionist told her to transport herself to the hospital.<\/p>\n

According to Operation Rescue<\/a>, which obtained the 911 dispatch audio and records<\/a>, staffers gave dispatchers conflicting information and seemed unconcerned with getting the woman emergency care.<\/p>\n

In the 911 audio, a nurse told the dispatcher the woman had a “procedure” and gave the information for where EMTs could transport her. “We do surgical procedures, and she \u2014 something’s going on,” she began. “Her sugar’s really low and she can’t even get up, and they want to go to the hospital.”<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the woman allegedly couldn’t even stand on her own, the abortionist evidently still expected her to somehow get to the hospital on her own, which is why the patient had to insist on an ambulance herself. “The doctor suggested she go to the hospital, and they \u2014 she didn’t feel comfortable going, so she wants \u2014 they wanted to call 911, so they can get an ambulance,” the nurse said.<\/p>\n
