911 Call Reveals Botched First Trimester Abortion

Operation
Rescue has released the second in a series of 911 calls made over a
recent 15-month period from Southwestern Women’s Options, an abortion
clinic in Albuquerque, N.M. The call reveals a botched first
trimester abortion procedure that required emergency medical
intervention.

The patient was a 30-year old woman who suffered “uterine bleeding,” a
sign of a possible punctured womb, which is a life-threatening abortion
complication. The call was placed on Nov. 3, at 12:42 PM.

The patient was transported to UNM Hospital, which ironically operates
its own abortion clinic, the UNM Center for Reproductive Health, where another botched abortion nearly killed a woman in February, according to Operation Rescue. In that disturbing 911 recording, the patient can be heard groaning and struggling for life.

“New Mexico is the wild, wild west of the abortion industry. It has so
little oversight that incidents like these are common place. Women who
walk into an abortion clinic in New Mexico are playing what amounts to
‘Russian Roulette’ with their lives,” says Operation Rescue President
Troy Newman.

Last week, Operation Rescue released the first of four 911 calls
placed from Southwestern Women’s Options between February 2010, and
May 2011. That call indicated that SWO had just completed a
second-trimester abortion on a 17-year old girl who suffered from a
fever, a possible sign of infection, a rapid pulse and uncontrolled
bleeding.

Former Kansas late-term abortionists Shelley Sella and Susan Robinson
are employees of SWO, which is owned by Texas abortionist Curtis Boyd.
It is believed that either Sella or Robinson was involved in the botched
abortions.

Operation Rescue has filed complaints with the New Mexico Board of
Medical Examiners against all three SWO abortionists in an effort to
hold them accountable for the botched abortion injuries that have landed
four women in the emergency room.

Southwestern Women’s Options was the site of a brutal beating that took place last week on peaceful pro-life activists
by an angry abortion supporter. The attacker, Suzanne Cully, 54, has
been charged with one count of battery and one count of aggravated
battery.

Operation Rescue plans in the next few days to release two more
disturbing 911 recordings from Southwestern Women’s Options that
document additional life-threatening abortion complications.

“We are demanding will all urgency that Southwestern Women’s Options be
closed immediately before they hurt or kill someone else,” Newman says.
