Missing 911 Call: Ambulance Rushes Sobbing Abortion Patient from Shoddy Florida Clinic
December 5, 2014

| Sobbing, Scared Abortion Patient Transported to Hospital 09042914 |
Jacksonville,
FL - Video shot by pro-life activists on the scene at the Florida
Women's Center abortion facility in Jacksonville, shows dramatic
footage of a sobbing abortion patient being loaded into an awaiting
ambulance while the injured patient's friend stood nearby crying and
distraught.
The incident occurred on September 4, 2014, at an abortion clinic owned and operated by abortionist Patrick J. Kelly.
Just five weeks before, state inspectors cited him - ironically - for
failing to provide his staff with adequate training in medical
emergencies.
"Given
the demeanor of everyone in that video, that patient's injuries
appeared to be quite serious. We don't know just how serious or if she
even survived," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.
"Every medical emergency we are able to document represents dozens more
that happen outside the presence of pro-life activists. Whatever
happened to the woman in the video, has probably happened to others."
Kelly owns, operates, and acts as the administrator for the Florida Women's Center according to three deficiency reports
obtained by Operation Rescue. The reports were based on facility
inspections that took place between April 10, 2009, and July 29, 2014.
In
fact, Kelly was cited in all three deficiency reports for failing to
provide adequate training for his staff in the areas of safety,
infection control, and incident reporting.
During a 2011 inspection,
Kelly made absurd excuses for not properly training his staff in
incident reporting procedures, raising questions about whether incidents
were ever reported.
"Physician
revealed that the facility has not had any incidents to report
therefore there was no need for staff training," an inspector noted.
During a 2014 inspection, Kelly insisted that his staff was trained, but could produce no evidence to substantiate his claim.
Allison
Aranda, an attorney with Life Legal Defense Foundation, which works
closely with Operation Rescue reports she attempted to obtain the
public records of the 911 call in order to learn more about September's
medical emergency. However, her request was not met by authorities,
who told her that all the records for that day had somehow been erased.
Aranda
told Operation Rescue that Life Legal Defense Foundation will be
filing a complaint against Kelly with the Florida Board of Medicine.
"Kelly
is a shoddy provider that has been fined and repeatedly has refused to
adequately train his staff. Perhaps that contributed to emergency
hospitalization of patient in September. In any case, traditional
discipline appears to have little effect on him. We can only expect
more incident like this until Kelly is banished from the practice of
medicine for good," said Newman.
