Wichita, KS — Did a staff member of Trust Women Abortion Clinic in Wichita, Kansas, recently call 911 and pretend to be a random citizen who felt it was her duty to report other citizens standing peacefully on a sidewalk (i.e. pro-lifers)?

On July 17, Trust Women abortion clinic experienced some trouble with its fire alarms. Operation Rescue secured the 911 records, revealing that the alarms went off four times in about 20 minutes despite no fire or smoke being present in the building. The fire department was dispatched after the first fire alarm just to make sure. 

As the Trust Women clinic was experiencing a two-month closure under very suspicious circumstances at the time, no patients should have been inside the building, only employees. The recorded calls reveal the Trust Women keyholder, Mike Seis, sent those employees home, likely around 1 p.m. if not a little before.

At 1:05, just after employees would have left, another 911 call was made. A girl who would not give her name but said she was “just driving around” called in to report “two really weird, sketchy people” who she said were “recording license plates” as people left the​​ Trust Women parking lot. 

As soon as 911 answered, the girl stated she was at Choices clinic – the pregnancy resource center located next door to Trust Women. However, when asked to specify her location a few seconds later, she backpedaled that certainty: 

“Um, I don’t know. It’s over on – there’s a place called Trust Women and Choices clinic, something like that. I don’t really know this area.”

Despite not knowing the area, and supposedly only reporting what she saw while casually driving by, the caller stated twice that Choices seems to be an anti-abortion clinic while seemingly oblivious to the fact that Trust Women is an abortion clinic. She seemed to intentionally stumble over the name of the abortion clinic throughout the call, but she confidently repeated the name of the Choices clinic several times. 

By all appearances, she wanted to make certain the 911 dispatcher associated the people on the sidewalk with the pregnancy resource center, and not the abortion facility. However, if these people were just standing on the sidewalk when she drove by – in an unfamiliar area, mind you –  how could she know they weren’t with Trust Women?

She also mentions that she saw firefighters present. Why alert 911 to a scene where there are already emergency responders? Clearly 911 had already been called. 

About four minutes into the call, the girl also added a comment that makes it seem even more likely she could have been leaving the Trust Women abortion clinic herself, as opposed to just driving by.

After reiterating again and again that these people seem to be recording cars leaving the Trust Women parking lot she suddenly says, “They were recording me, and I don’t like that.”

If these “sketchy” people were so focused on cars leaving the parking lot, it seems unlikely they would record a car that was just driving by, as this girl claimed.

After hearing the girl’s claim that she had been video recorded, the 911 dispatcher logically asks, “Ok, are you needing to make a report about this?” 

The anonymous caller quickly declined, saying, “Uh, no, I was just in the area…”

For someone “just in the area,” she sure seemed to be right in the middle of what was happening on the sidewalk that day.

“Abortion clinic workers are constantly calling the police on peaceful, pro-life citizens,” says Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “They attempt to make us look like criminals for courageously standing with preborn children and peacefully exercising our First Amendment rights. Then they walk back into the abortion clinic where they continue brutally killing children in the womb who are stripped of every right.”

“Thankfully, pro-lifers are a hardy bunch. We won’t be intimidated into silence by the ridiculous games abortion workers often play. We will stand with our preborn brothers and sisters. We will offer compassion and assistance to mothers in need. We will continue to expose abortion for what it is – evil.”
