(Pro-Life Action League<\/a>) Eric J. Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, has issued an open letter to Sarah Garza Resnick, CEO of Personal PAC, an Illinois pro-abortion lobbying group. Scheidler\u2019s letter comes in response to disturbing audio of a 911 call from an abortion facility in the Chicago suburbs, which Scheidler\u2019s office acquired through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Here is Scheidler\u2019s open letter to Resnick:<\/p>\n

October 16, 2023<\/p>\n

Dear Ms. Garza Resnick,<\/p>\n

Recently, my office came into possession of the audio of a 911 call from Access Health Center in Downers Grove, an abortion facility. You can hear the call for yourself here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the call placed on August 8, an ambulance is requested for a 14-year-old girl whose uterus has been perforated during an abortion procedure. Thanks to Personal PAC\u2019s successful effort in 2021 to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act, it\u2019s possible this girl\u2019s parents have no idea that she was getting an abortion that day, or even that she was transferred to a hospital. If she suffers further complications, her parents\u2019 ability to provide care for her may be seriously undermined by having been kept in the dark about the abortion, thanks to the policies Personal PAC has promoted here in Illinois.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also every possibility that the girl was trafficked to Illinois from a neighboring state by an abusive adult. Thanks to the repeal of Parental Notice, sexual predators know they can cover their tracks here in Illinois.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it may be very difficult for this girl and her family to seek restitution if she suffers lasting harm due to any medical malpractice by the Access abortionist, thanks to legislation pushed by Personal PAC that shields abortion providers from civil action.<\/p>\n

You have also managed to eliminate nearly all inspection of abortion facilities, through the Reproductive Health Act of 2019. If the medical emergency on August 8 was caused by unsafe conditions at Access, the people of Illinois will never know, and the Illinois Department of Public Health will not be able to intervene.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, the last time comprehensive inspections were done at Illinois abortion facilities \u2014 back in the 2010s \u2014 four were forced to close their doors. Now most abortion clinic inspections have ceased forever \u2014 thanks to Personal PAC.<\/p>\n

On that 911 call, the Access representative refuses to give her name. She refuses to take any personal responsibility for the tragedy unfolding, right at that moment, in the life of this unfortunate teenager.<\/p>\n

Will you take responsibility, Sarah?<\/p>\n

If so, please come and talk to me tomorrow morning, when my organization will be demonstrating outside your fundraiser at the Hilton Chicago. If you really care about the welfare of women and girls in Illinois \u2014 including this 14-year-old victim of a botched abortion \u2014 then come out and explain to the people of Illinois what you\u2019re going to do to restore the rights of Illinois parents and hold abortion providers accountable.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be waiting.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Eric J. Scheidler Executive Director Pro-Life Action League<\/p>\n
