Baltimore, MD – When a medical emergency arose at a Baltimore Planned Parenthood abortion facility recently, one Planned Parenthood employee did something unusual. Instead of picking up the telephone and dialing 911 — the quickest way to get help — she used a Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) to call the Intrado Emergency Call Relay Center, which, in turn, placed the call to the 911 exchange.
However, when the woman from the call relay center provided an incomplete address given by the Planned Parenthood employee, identified as Raishonda Jefferson-Lampton, the call center was forced to put Ms. Jefferson-Lampton on the line directly with the 911 dispatcher.
Once she confirmed the Planned Parenthood facility’s correct address, an ambulance was finally dispatched.
It is possible that Planned Parenthood was trying to avoid a public record of this incident by using an Internet-based line and routing through a third-party. Open records laws do not apply to private businesses, such as a call relay center. But this ruse did not work for Planned Parenthood because the call relay center contacted 911 so an ambulance could be dispatched. This created a record that was subject to public access.
The rest of the 911 recording and the Computer Aided Dispatch printout, which were provided to Operation Rescue by the pro-life group Defend Life, were heavily redacted to remove any mention of why paramedics were needed.
However, Operation Rescue was able to locate the radio dispatch recording that indicated an ambulance was needed at Planned Parenthood for someone suffering “abdominal pain” – a symptom often associated with surgical abortion complications.
According to a witness at the scene, a woman was brought out on a gurney and loaded into a Baltimore City Ambulance. The CAD transcript noted that there was a transport and change of location, presumably to a local hospital.
Planned Parenthood’s use of a VOIP to contact a call relay center instead of 911 directly likely delayed the dispatch of paramedics to the scene. This practice could potentially cause life-threatening delays.
“Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses are actively trying to hide the number of women who suffer serious complications that require emergency hospitalization. The data we are compiling on abortion emergencies debunks their propaganda that abortion is safe. The evidence shows it is not,” said Newman. “We are grateful to the pro-life activists who were on the scene and to Defend Life for documenting this incident so the public can be alerted to the true dangers of abortion.”

Maryland ping.
Horrible.
That employee needs to be fired immediately, increasing the danger to the woman needing immediate medical attention.

Employee?
You could be totally right and the employee totally took it upon themselves to try this in order to conceal the origin of the call from records, but that’s not how I interpreted it.
It’s hard, frankly, to summon a whole lot of sympathy for a woman who suffers medical complications after murdering her unborn child.
This is NOT how I interpret it either, the employees have been INSTRUCTED to do business this way, which in the long run are putting lives in danger!!!
I don’t think that Raishonda thought up this ploy all by herself.
Then they should close down the whole outfit immediately.
This is malpractice and criminal behavior, deliberately putting the life of a woman in danger.
Of course it is, but they will scream at you that their whole reason for existing is to protect women's health... while clearly being ill-equipped to do so and caring more to cover their own backsides.
Why should we expect less from an outfit that routinely and shamelessly kills children?
Regardless of legality, the patient’s life was deliberately put at risk to try and ensure that the incident wasn’t a matter of public record. They should be sued on the patient’s behalf, the employee(s) at the center of it should be criminally charged, and the facility premanently closed down. That, however, would require a revamping of current law to allow a common sense resolution to the whole matter. PP’s ambulance chasers whould have this dragged through five different courts simultaneously, filing appeals, delays, counter-suing, and the outcome would be a slap on the wrist ten years from now, if that. The only way to end this cat-and-mouse game is to wait until the Notorious RBG is in a pine box (which could be at any given moment, IMO), get another solid conservative on the SCOTUS, and reverse most or all of Roe v. Wade in big letters. I know there’s a lot to be said for change coming from the grass roots-up, but in this case, it’ll have to be a nuclear blast from the top-down to get anything done.
A lot of states are requiring abortionist “doctors” to have admitting privileges to hospitals to practice and a lot of hospitals do not want to be associated with them.
I heard on a radio program that Planned Parenthood will order multiple tests on a lady who wants an abortion (e.g.: blood tests, scans etc.) to create the illusion that they provide more services then just aborting babies. The 1/2 dozen or so tests are NOT tied directly to the termination of the baby.
Truely evil people.
Of course. They follow some free-form, faulty, ‘health of the patient comes first’ monologue to cover up their botches and keep the milk flowing from the federal teat.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
