Springfield, IL – Operation Rescue is investigating three more women who were rushed to the hospital after botched abortions in Illinois between December 2024 and March 2025. Each incident involved women who suffered heavy bleeding—likely caused by uterine perforation, a well-known but potentially life-threatening complication of surgical abortion. These cases, documented in emergency call recordings and reported by pro-life eyewitnesses, raise alarming flags regarding clinic oversight and safety standards in Illinois.
1. Carafem Health Center, Skokie
At 1:37 p.m. on December 6, 2024, a 31-year-old woman was rushed from the Carafem Health Center in Skokie, Illinois to a hospital. Carafem is part of a national chain committing abortions in Illinois, Washington, Georgia, and at least 17 other states via “telemed.” The Carafem worker reportedly called 911 to request help for a patient with severe hemorrhaging. According to a 911 recording provided courtesy of Pro-Life Action League, the caller noted that the patient was “bleeding a lot.” This bleeding was likely caused by a uterine perforation—a puncture of the uterus that can occur during surgical abortion procedures and requires emergency medical intervention.
In another alarming portion of the call, the staffer states a nurse practitioner (NP) was with the patient. In 2023, the Illinois legislature passed an omnibus bill that allowed Nurse Practitioners to perform medical and surgical abortions. NPs have far less training than a medical doctor, especially in surgery and surgery complications. This same bill protects abortionists from legal action.
2. Planned Parenthood, Aurora
Less than three months later, at 3:51 p.m. on March 5, 2025, another emergency unfolded—this time at Planned Parenthood in Aurora, Illinois. According to another 911 call provided courtesy of Pro-Life Action League, Emergency Medical Services were dispatched after a woman in her late twenties began bleeding heavily following a “procedure” (i.e. an abortion).
Sadly, this is the third botched abortion requiring emergency care to occur at Planned Parenthood of Aurora this year. Operation Rescue investigated two others that happened on January 18 and February 8 of 2025. Three botches in three months does not equal “safe and legal.”
3. Hope Clinic for Women, Granite City
The most recent incident took place around 1:20 p.m. on March 9, 2025, at the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Illinois – also known as “Hopeless” Clinic. Eyewitnesses on the scene reported an ambulance arriving at the facility. Although 911 records for this event have not been released yet, Operation Rescue secured a recording of the EMS radio dispatch indicating the emergency: a 30 year old woman suffering from significant bleeding after her abortion. As in the previous two cases, the symptoms were consistent with a possible uterine perforation.
“Hopeless” Clinic earned Operation Rescue’s title for “Worst of the Worst” in 2023, the same year that the Illinois legislature passed sweeping expansions for already unregulated abortion clinics. In that year, Operation Rescue investigated 30 medical emergencies from the state, most of which happened at this clinic. That is a dozen more emergencies than were reported in 2022.
A Call for Oversight and Accountability
“These increasing medical emergencies raise crucial questions about the total lack of safety practices and regulatory oversight for abortion facilities in Illinois,” says Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
Currently, Illinois does not require abortion clinics to be licensed by the state, a policy which allows facilities to operate without accountability or routine inspections. There is no way to tell if basic sanitation, hygiene, medical attention, anesthesia protocol, licensure of medical staff, or other crucial safety standards are being observed.
In January of 2024, State Representative William E. Hauter (R) introduced a bill that would mandate all abortion clinics in Illinois be licensed by the Department of Public Health. This meant such facilities would have to be inspected. Unfortunately, such a bill was unable to get any traction and did not even make it out of committee this year. This shows the attitude of legislators who are willing to protect abortion and abortionists at all costs while ignoring patient safety and the numerous injuries sustained by women entering these clinics.
“There are health regulations for making fast food french fries,” adds Newman, “but none to protect a woman at a surgical abortion clinic. Babies get killed and women get injured in the process almost every week, yet the mainstream media and other ‘women’s rights advocates’ remain silent. We will not be silent! With God’s help, we will keep pushing for the truth and exposing the abortion cartel in America.”
Thank God for women’s health care!
#2 in Aurora, which has become the 2nd largest population town in Illinois, to a large extent because it has become a huge Section 8 housing destination for people trying to escape the Section 8 Utopia in Chicago.
#3 - Granite City? That one surprised me.
Abortion is probably the greatest crime in human history, but because it’s desired by females, it escapes judgment.
Illinois, what a cesspool!
The state that taxes and regulates EVERYTHING doesn’t regulate abortion clinics?
Governor Pritzker touted becoming the largest abortion state in Illinois.
These senseless deaths are the result of the death culture created by a super majority Democrat General Assembly.
Governor Pritzker is calling for mass protests:“Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.”
Hows about Donald Dems, Pritzker?
No mad-on for us? We were the ones who made the difference, weren't we...
Why not call us out?
But Deep State never does, does it...
Because you don't dare.
And we know why...
And we revel in the knowledge.
Probably the result of DEI hires at abortion clinics.
Leftists don’t care about women. The care about abortion as their holy sacrament.
And the women who think democrats care about them are stupid.

In Nebraska, the abortionist “doctor,” must have admittance rights to a hospital to practice.
At least 63% of USA abortions use medication only.
The injuries discussed are restricted to surgery.
This is not a value judgment.
It is information that many - perhaps a majority - of Americans do not know.
