Hemorrhage at Planned Parenthood Required Advanced Life Support
Everett, Washington — On July 24, an employee of Planned Parenthood in Everett, Washington, called 911 shortly before 11 a.m. The call involved a 36-year-old mother.
In Operation Rescue’s analysis of the 911 recording, present-tense language was observed: “We have a patient who just is having a procedural abortion, and I think she is having some bleeding.”
It appears that the abortion was underway and had to be stopped because of excessive bleeding.
“For this reason, it is not known whether the child’s life had already been destroyed or if he or she remained alive and was possibly suffering at the time of the call,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “What is clear, however, is that the woman was not just experiencing a normal amount of blood loss during the abortion. This was an abortion gone bad – more than likely a hemorrhage caused by surgical tools that perforated her uterus.”
LISTEN TO 911 AUDIO BELOW:
Despite blood loss serious enough to require an emergency transport, the Washington 911 dispatch service failed to ask questions concerning the woman’s vitals.
What was her blood pressure?
How much blood had she lost?
Was she exhibiting shock symptoms?
This vital information should be relayed to prepare the EMS professionals to provide appropriate emergency medical intervention. It became apparent, however, that the caller was ill-equipped to effectively communicate with the dispatcher when she could not differentiate between advanced life support and basic life support.
The computer-aided dispatch transcript contained a notation, “DISREGARD NW, 20 MIN ETA.” This was likely a reference to the University of Washington Medical Center-Northwest in Seattle. It is not known whether another hospital was chosen to speed up the transfer.
Two emergency teams were dispatched to treat the hemorrhaging woman. The first arrived on the scene approximately six minutes after the call was initiated, and a second unit arrived about nine minutes later. Approximately 40 minutes elapsed between the time that the 911 call was initiated and the emergency vehicle finally reached the hospital.
“For Planned Parenthood, this was just another day of profitable child killing,” said Newman, “but this was likely a devastating day for a 36-year-old mom and anyone close to her. It is not known whether she required blood transfusions and surgery to repair surgical injuries, or if she survived at all.
“If she did survive, we hope and pray she will be granted repentance. Like so many other women, the regret will always be present in her memories, but God can remove the guilt and use her to speak life and truth into our dark world.”
