Few Americans know that there are no federal requirements to report either abortions or complications and injuries due to abortion. In addition, <\/span>only 28 states<\/span><\/a> report post-abortion complications (because their state laws require it), according to the Guttmacher Institute \u2014 and the media further helps to obscure abortion-related injuries. For these reasons, it has been easy for\u00a0<\/span>Planned Parenthood to amass a long track record of injuring women and then <\/span>hide the evidence<\/span><\/a> of injuries \u2013 even those documented <\/span>by 911 calls<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the <\/span>testimony of whistleblowers<\/span><\/a> who have spoken about the injuries inflicted upon women by Planned Parenthood facilities, the corporation continues to receive taxpayer dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Severe injures to women<\/b><\/h3>\n

Live Action News, relying on reporting from Operation Rescue<\/a> and 911 calls records, has documented instances in which Planned Parenthood staff have disclosed severe injuries of their patients while on the phone with emergency personnel dispatchers. The following are a sample of 911 calls made by Planned Parenthood facilities across the country which provide evidence of Planned Parenthood patient injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

This facility\u2019s staff injured two women two days in a row in May of 2020, as Live Action News previously <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0On May 7, the facility called a private ambulance which arrived <\/span>without lights or sirens<\/span><\/i>, suggesting a dangerous cover-up on Planned Parenthood\u2019s part; there are no 911 records available for this call.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0On May 8, a staff member called 911 for a woman with a \u201cpossible uterine perforation.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Live Action News <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> that uterine perforation during an abortion \u201ccan lead to <\/span>hemorrhaging, damage to surrounding organs, <\/span>hysterectomy<\/a>, or even death.” <\/span>Cree Erwin-Sheppard<\/a>, a 23-year-old woman who had a first trimester abortion at Planned a Parenthood in Kalamazoo, Michigan, died from a post-abortion uterine perforation in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n
