Report: Recording Reveals Planned Parenthood Injured Woman in Botched Abortion

According to audio obtained by pro-life activists, a woman was injured in Washington state as a result of a botched Planned Parenthood abortion.
In the audio, which is a recording of a 911 call that a Planned Parenthood worker made, the caller identifies herself as “Pamela” and tells the dispatcher that she has “a patient that is bleeding that we need to transfer to the hospital immediately.”
Pamela also tells the dispatcher: “We just did an abortion on her.”
When asked, Pamela told the dispatcher that the patient was not yet in shock. She also told the dispatcher that medics should use the side door of the clinic.
Pro-life activist Mary Emanuel was on the scene at the time and snapped some pictures. She saw the ambulances pull up. The people with the umbrellas are, according to Emanuel, the Planned Parenthood staffers.
Here is Emanuel’s account of what happened that day:
“Events started to unfold a little before 1:00 p.m. when I heard sirens approaching the corner of Hoyt and 32nd in Everett, Washington. As the red engine rounded the corner from the south I walked hastily to see if it would move beyond Planned Parenthood on Hoyt. Unfortunately it stopped and three paramedics unloaded their gear and went in the side entrance.”
She said a woman eventually arrived with a white poster board, which Planned Parenthood staffers later used to block the view from the street when they loaded the injured woman into the ambulance.
“The employees weren’t their usual smug and surly selves. They actually seemed sad and did not want to make eye contact. However, when I asked one employee who had brought something to a woman in her car how it was going, she replied, ‘good,’” Emanuel recalls. “After the paramedics had gone inside I waited to see if an ambulance would appear. Indeed, not long after that, maybe five minutes, the ambulance arrived and they took a gurney inside.”
About 40 minutes later, Emanuel says “Planned Parenthood employees started filtering out the side door that opens onto the parking lot to form a conga line. They held big blue and white umbrellas, those white poster boards, and a flattened cardboard box in order to try to obstruct our view of the situation. That tells you about their priorities. The woman was slowly wheeled out into the parking lot and loaded into the ambulance. There must have been 10 to 12 employees of Planned Parenthood trying to protect their reputation and hide this horrific incident from the public. They performed the same ritual for the partner or friend or parent of the injured woman. The only thing I saw was a red sock, crumpled and askew on the woman’s foot.
“The attitude of the paramedics seemed to be one of sadness mixed with anger. They went inside to interview employees and take a report,” she recalls.
Planned Parenthood CEO of the Great Northwest, Christine Charbonneau, has confirmed that the bleeding woman was indeed a Planned Parenthood patient. And though the 911 audio of the Planned Parenthood caller references an abortion, Charbonneau did not confirm or deny whether the injured woman was the victim of a botched abortion:
In [an] email she admitted that the victim was a patient (and not an employee as some have speculated), but denied that the client was deceased as some eye-witnesses had feared. She claimed ‘patient is very much alive, stable and getting care appropriate to the situation.’ She attempted to downplay the seriousness of the situation, saying that they had ‘evidently … transferred [her] to a hospital for observation.
According to the pro-life blogger who broke this story, the hospital has not commented on the status of the injured woman:
The woman was taken to Providence Medical Center’s Pacific Campus, but unlike in other high profile accident cases, Providence refused to comment on the status of the victim, or to indicate if she had recovered from her injuries.
Nothing on the call indicated whether the apparent hemorrhaging was from a perforated uterus or colon as in the case of the ongoing lawsuit against Cedar River Clinics which we broke. In that case also the woman was evacuated by ambulance. She ended up having a hysterectomy, rendering her permanently infertile.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 7:50amI wonder how the baby suffered in all of this? You know someone brought up something very important somewhere on the internet. If it is true: If someone is caught destroying the egg of an American Bald Eagle, they are fined $250,000 and jail time. People in this country are giving taxpayer dollars to organizations like this to kill innocent babies in the womb and they are proud of it! We should have equal protection under the law. Why doesn’t anyone sue based on this: If you can’t destroy a bald eagle egg, then you can’t destroy a baby sleeping in the womb!

I have an idea I may pursue or I may send to a couple of investigators I send tips to.
Think about folks, this is not rare, look at that sick doctor that was killing babies outside the womb and mothers.
They are FUNDED by government money. Time to start sending FOIA requests for information on these deaths and injuries to mothers. Time to show the truth behind the murder.
I am thinking we need to begin sending FOIA’s to EVERYONE that receives money from the government and EXPOSE ALL THE VILE AND HEINOUS things that our government funds.

Posted on April 9, 2011 at 9:36amI had a baby that was born three months early. At only 2 pounds she was perfect. Thankfully she survived and is perfectly healthy. It made me sick to see her perfect little body and know that so many people would have no problem killing her as long as she was still in my womb. What is the difference if they are in the womb or out of the womb? They are a precious life, not a blob of tissue.
Report Post »If I decide I don’t want one of my kids now should I have the right to kill them? It is ridiculous.
As for rape, ever heard of adoption? I have a family member that adopted a child of a rape victim. That child did nothing wrong and did not deserve to die. The child is incredibly happy and full of life today. I am so thankful the child’s birth mother chose adoption over abortion.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 5:33amA society that cavalierly condones the slaughter of the helpless unborn and views them as usless and unwanted inconvieniences is just a heartbeat away from proclaiming similar allowances to others in it’s society, i.e. the elderly, disabled persons, homeless people, and others. When all agree we will be lost. That the govenment pays for this is eugenics. Hardened criminals and serial killers have more rights than the innocent unborn (WTF???). With all the options available to prevent pregnancies, there is no excuse for it. If the choice was the coat-hanger abortion maybe the choice to have sex or not would be more carefully made. Pro-choice is really Pro-murder.

Report Post »Its to much gov in your private life to make you buy health insurance, or what light bulbs to use (both annoying but on the scale of life and death pretty small) but its ok for gov interference to force women to have babies they don’t want?
Now most certainly tax money should never ever ever be used to support this, but clinics sure beat back alleys and coat hangers.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 3:46amIf I don’t want to fund your abortion, I AM NOT forcing you to have a baby you didn’t want. I am deeply opposed to abortion, why do you require my money to achieve your goal? Why do you require me to be involved in your murder? Do you want to pay taxes so my kids can go to Christian School? How about taxes so my church can get a new Nativity? Why shouldn’t your taxes go to your local alternative to an abortion clinic? Let me answer that one. If you receive taxpayer money, you have to offer abortion. What part of murder confuses you? I can’t compare human life to health care and light bulbs! What’s wrong with birth control? Abortion is not a form of birth control, it is murder. I am confused why all you people who don‘t want to have babies don’t just get sterilized? I’m sure the government would pay for it.

Posted on April 8, 2011 at 3:58amChett, you’re looking at the question from the wrong side. NO ONE is “forcing” women to have babies they don’t want. The “Pro-Choice” people very conveniently ignore the most important two choices that women can make that would eliminate abortions entirely:
First choice: Is this guy someone who is worthy of having sex with and am I prepared to deal with the consequences whether it is an STD or a pregnancy? Yes or no?
Second choice: What kind of birth control WILL I USE to prevent an unwanted pregnancy?
Birth control **prevents** pregnancy. Abortion ends it. Abortion is NOT birth control.

The democracts force all of us to pay to kill these babies,that‘s what’s holding up the budget agreement.Obama was on a death panel when he was chairman of the Health and Human Services committee.He voted twice to deny any services to save a baby that servived a abortion. A rose by any other name is still a rose, and so is a death panel.The democracts makes all of us pay to kill these babies,get them elected and keep them in power.They think all money is their money to do what they want!

I only wish that the bad accidents happened only to the killer, not the Mother or Child.
God forgive us for we know not what we do! Notice I said “we”, I did that on purpose. If we were truly outraged by this barbaric procedure we would have done something concrete by now to save innocent lives of the unborn. Why as a Christian nation do we allow this daily murder to go on?!
I don’t have the answer, just admitting our guilt. May God bless the 40 million lives that have been snuffed-out because of this barbaric procedure, and may he someday forgive us for not doing the right thing.
