According to the 911 transcript, the 31-year-old patient was severely hemorrhaging and needed emergency care.\u00a0The caller stated that a nurse practitioner \u2014 not a doctor \u2014 was with the woman. This facility <a href=\"https:\/\/carafem.org\/chicago\/\">offers<\/a> the abortion pill along with <a href=\"https:\/\/carafem.org\/in-office-procedure\/\">on-site aspiration procedures<\/a>. Illinois law allows nurse practitioners to commit abortions, putting women further at risk when they need advanced medical treatment as this woman did.

The patient was witnessed leaving the abortion business in an ambulance. Though the 911 transcript has not yet been released, an EMS radio transcript reports that the 30-year-old woman was experiencing heavy bleeding. This particular abortion facility has a reputation for injuring women; Live Action News has shared <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/?s=Granite+city%2C+Illinois\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many instances<\/a> of botched abortions and abortion injuries that have occurred here over the years.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most pro-abortion states in the country, Illinois is home to multiple abortion facilities that have a track record of injuring women. Despite this, the state&#8217;s lawmakers refuse to implement facility safeguards or standards that would help to reduce the harm done to women. The state&#8217;s 2026 budget contains $24 million for &#8220;reproductive health initiatives.&#8221; Of that amount, $5 million was earmarked for abortion training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese increasing medical emergencies raise crucial questions about the total lack of safety practices and regulatory oversight for abortion facilities in Illinois,\u201d noted Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are health regulations for making fast food french fries, but none to protect a woman at a surgical abortion clinic,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Babies get killed and women get injured in the process almost every week, yet the mainstream media and other \u2018women\u2019s rights advocates\u2019 remain silent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/G3Bhv6M\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-325597\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-500x179.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1.png 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro-life watchdog Operation Rescue has shared that three women have been injured in the past handful of months at Illinois abortion facilities.
