According to pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue, Eastland Women’s Clinic, an abortion facility in Eastpoint, Michigan, had to transfer a woman to a hospital after perforating her uterus during a dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion on July 23, 2021.<\/p>\n

According to the 911 records\u00a0provided to Operation Rescue<\/a>, facility staffers did not treat the serious injury as an emergency. “Doc tried to perform a D&E on a patient,” the staffer began. “He believes her uterus was perforated so therefore we have to transfer her to the hospital so she can get taken care of.”<\/p>\n

After explaining the woman was conscious and bleeding, the staffer said the situation was not emergent. “But if she starts bleeding into her abdomen, it could become an emergency pretty fast,” she added.<\/p>\n

Despite the seriousness of the situation, the facility requested the ambulance arrive with no lights or sirens. And though a fire unit was dispatched, the woman was taken to the hospital by Medstar, a private ambulance company. Abortion facilities have been known<\/a> to ask ambulances to come and go without lights or sirens<\/a>, which can delay care for patients where every second counts.<\/p>\n
