New 911 Tape Reveals Botched Abortion At Virginia Planned Parenthood
Virginia Beach, Virginia - A life-threatening abortion injury at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Virginia Beach, Virginia, has come to light two months after it occurred thanks to pro-life activists who worked to document the incident. Operation Rescue has published a recording of the 911 call placed by an obviously shaken non-medical Planned Parenthood employee on October 14, 2011. (Link below.) The recording was obtained by pro-life activist Louantha Kerr through an open records request. The 911 recording was heavily redacted by Virginia Beach city officials. Nevertheless, it shows a medical emergency involving heavy bleeding on a 28-year old abortion patient that could not be controlled by two Planned Parenthood physicians. Photographs taken by Kerr at the time of the incident depict an ambulance at the scene and a row of Planned Parenthood workers trying to block pro-lifers from documenting the event. At least one Planned Parenthood worker blocked cameras with an umbrella. Ironically, a sign hanging above the door of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic read, "Planning for Parenthood is Sacred Work." "Instead of 'planning for parenthood', that abortion clinic is more likely planning to profit from dead babies and broken women who have to live for the rest of their lives with the fact that they killed their own babies," said Operation Rescue spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger. "With 96 per cent of all pregnant women entering Planned Parenthood being sold abortions, it's not hard to see how abortion is a cash cow for them. Based on years of experience investigating abortion clinics, we have found it is standard practice for them to place profit above the health and safety of women." The clinic involved in the botched abortion injury has recently applied to the state to upgrade to outpatient hospital status and add two operating rooms, apparently to avoid running afoul of Virginia's new clinic regulations that went into effect on January 1, 2012. Abortion clinics have until March 30, 2012, to apply for a new facility license and undergo inspections. "We call on Virginia regulators to deny Planned Parenthood's request to expand their business," said Sullenger. "If the abortions they are doing now are not safe, they certainly should not be allowed to inflict their dangerous abortion practices on even more women. There should be a thorough investigation of the October abortion injury and strong consideration should be given to shutting down this clinic altogether." WATCH VIDEO WITH 911 RECORDING
Elkton, MD – Abortionist Steven Chase Brigham wasarraigned today in Cecil County, Maryland, on 11-count murder indictment then was released on a $500,000 bond. He was ordered to have “no involvement in any manner in performing abortions” as a condition of his release. Brigham posted bail this afternoon against $306,240 worth of assets. A bail bondsman posted the remainder of the $500,000 bond. Details concerning the indictment were also made public. Brigham was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of five viable, healthy preborn babies between July 9 and Aug. 13 of 2010, at what his co-defendant Nicola Riley described as a “secret late-term abortion clinic” in Elkton, Maryland. Four of the babies were female. The one male baby was identified in the indictment as “Male Fetus Brewer.” That little boy was the son of a patient that suffered the life-threatening botched abortion that first drew attention to Brigham’s illegal bi-state late-term abortion scheme. Riley has been charged with a 3-count murder indictment and waits a scheduled January 9 hearing in Salt Lake City where she remain held on no bail. She is expected to be extradited to Maryland sometime after the hearing. Operation Rescue obtained Brigham’s mug shot from the Cecil County Detention Center through an open records request. “Brigham has a higher body count than Jack the Ripper. Considering Brigham’s penchant for repeated violations of the law, it is disturbing that he is allowed out on bail,” said Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue’s Senior Policy Advisor. “The only way to protect women from being preyed upon by Brigham is to lock him up and throw away the key. Traditional discipline simply has not worked on this man in the past. We look forward to Brigham’s day in court and pray that he will be permanently put behind bars where he belongs.” |
