All photos by Fred Sokol. Cleveland, OH – An ambulance and a fire unit were dispatched to Preterm, a Cleveland, Ohio, abortion facility, on October 15, 2021, for a 20-year-old woman who may have had a hole torn in her uterus during a 19-week second trimester abortion. An evasive caller from Preterm was reluctant to give details about the woman’s condition and what led them to suspect a uterine perforation had occurred. Defective elevator About two minutes into the 3 minute 49 second call, she finally informed the 911 operator that the elevator, which is the only gurney access to...

Something shocking happened on NPR on Friday. NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep interviewed a pro-life activist in Texas, Rebecca Parma of Texas Right to Life. It was less shocking that it was hostile throughout. He tossed questions like "Wasn't your strategy actually to stop abortions in a way that is unconstitutional at the moment?" And: "There's a supremacy clause in the Constitution. Federal law applies to the state of Texas. Texas lost the civil war. I mean, this is - it's very clearly in contravention of federal law." But where it obviously broke for the NPR host is when...

A 45-year history of aborting babies ended for abortion provider Ali Azima on September 3, 2021. Azima closed his Port Charlotte, FL, abortion facility that day, Community Pregnancy Clinics (CPCI) of Naples, FL, reported in an email statement to supporters. The website for Azima’s multi-site medical practice (Southwest Florida Women’s Clinic, Inc.) states that he is retiring, noting as well that, “We have lost our lease in North Fort Myers due to the protestors,” and refers visitors to the Port Charlotte office. Local Florida pro-life groups have diligently prayed for life to prevail and have been available to women for...

I’m a Texas abortion provider. Since the state’s new anti-abortion law – known as Senate Bill 8 – went into effect three weeks ago, my job transformed from physician to dystopian travel agent for a journey that, for most of my patients, will probably never happen. SB8 is not just a set of roadblocks but rather a near-total ban on abortion. Politicians have rendered abortion care impossible to access for people who can’t afford to travel hundreds of miles out of state. Many of those who can’t get an abortion will be pushed deeper into poverty as a result. I’ve...

Researcher Kevin Sherlock tells the story of sex offender Nabil Ghali and his many malpractice suits for botched abortions: “Nabil Ghali used to practice as an OB/GYN in Kentucky. But his repeated cases of malpractice and his convictions for sex offenses stemming from charges three young girls made against him led Ghali to start performing abortions on girls and young women… Since his move to abortion, Ghali has been accused of killing a woman with an abortion and has been sued for abortion-related malpractice seven times. Interviews with law enforcement and health officials, and review of court cases, agency documents,...

How do you know that abortion is evil? When an abortionist kills 67 babies in abortions in 17 hours and then brags about it like a football player celebrating scoring a touchdown to win the big game. As LifeNews has reported, the staff at the Whole Women’s health abortion business in Fort Worth, Texas worked up until midnight Aug. 31 to abort unborn babies before the Texas heartbeat law went into effect. At the time, Marva Sadler, who runs the abortion facility, described the “fear, stress and heartbreak” that permeated the Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility in Fort Worth that...

A notorious abortionist in Port Charlotte, Florida, has permanently closed his abortion venue, following a yearlong investigation led by Reprotection, Inc., a national women’s watchdog organization that works to shut down dangerous abortion providers. Together with Thomas More Society attorneys and concerned Florida citizens, Reprotection brought multiple complaints against abortionist Ali Azima and his Venice Women’s Health Center to the attention of the Florida Department of Health. After receiving reports from eyewitnesses in Port Charlotte about Azima’s repeated endangerment of patients, Reprotection’s investigation verified the abortionist’s history of medical negligence, previous medical license suspension, and lack of a license to...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s unwavering support for abortion continues as she plans to welcome abortionists from Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and New Mexico to the White House on September 16. The reason for the meeting is the Texas Heartbeat Act, which went into effect on September 1 and restricts abortion to before an embryonic heartbeat can be detected. “We will not stand by and allow our nation to go back to the days of back-alley abortions,” Harris said in a statement. “We will not abide by cash incentives for virtual vigilantes and intimidation for patients. We will use every level of...

Earlier this year, MSNBC host Joy Reid connected — without any evidence — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to (Joy Reid Accuses Ron DeSantis of ‘Killing Children’)

The Biden administration has abandoned women by supporting the removal of the Food and Drug Administration requirements surrounding the distribution of the mifepristone abortion regimen. Based on extreme lobbying efforts of the pro-abortion movement on this issue, Americans might conclude these regulations—the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies, otherwise known as the REMS—were overly protective and put into place by the pro-life Trump administration; however, that is not the case.The REMS are the product of the pro-abortion Clinton administration’s effort to ensure that the abortion regimen—which carries life-threatening and health-endangering risks such as hemorrhage, infection, incomplete pregnancy, retained fetal parts, the...

Little Rock, AR — An Arkansas abortionist, Tom Tvedten, 74, whose medical license was suspended on an emergency basis in August, will apparently be allowed to resume abortions – at least temporarily – but remains blocked from certifying medicinal marijuana cards. Tvedten’s license was suspended on August 13, 2020, after the Arkansas State Medical Board (ASMB) determined that his evaluation and certification of a minor girl for a medical marijuana card rose to the level of “gross negligence and ignorant malpractice” that posed a danger to the public. News outlets have reported that during a disciplinary hearing held on October...

Baton Rouge, LA – Mary Francis Gardner is 80 years old. She can no longer drive her own vehicle. Even though she walks with a walker, she still often requires additional human assistance to get from her vehicle into her place of business. Yet, despite her advanced age and obvious physical limitations, Mary Gardner is still actively employed. That’s because Mary Gardner is an abortionist – something in short supply these days in Louisiana. A photo taken by pro-life activist Richard Mahoney outside the Delta Clinic on October 12, 2020, illustrated Gardner’s deteriorating physical health. Nevertheless, she keeps a demanding...

Well-known late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has lost a contract with his third medical waste disposal company in two years. Created Equal announced the news this week, which they claimed as a victory for Project Weak Link — an effort to stop disposal companies from doing business with abortionists — writing: In June 2018, two companies canceled contracts to pick up aborted baby remains from third-trimester abortionist Leroy Carhart. Unfortunately, at that time, Bio-Haz Solutions, Inc. based in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, was hired by AbortionClinics.org (ACO), Carhart’s late-term abortion facility located in Bethesda, Maryland. On November 10, 2020, Created Equal confirmed that...

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said Saturday President Trump is “deliberately killing people” with his rallies amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Can we take the gloves off and tell the truth? Trump is deliberately killing people,” Murphy wrote on Twitter. “He holds rallies where people get infected. On Thursday, no social distancing or masks, sending a clear message that the CDC should be ignored.” “His plan is to kill people. Let's just say it,” Murphy continued.

The Facebook page Abortion on Trial has shared new video footage of late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd in which he discusses the increased risk to the safety of the mother as the gestational age of the preborn child increases. Abortion on Trial aims to “raise awareness and education about abortionists, Dr. Curtis Boyd, and related legal cases addressing wrongful death and injury due to abortion….” In the new video, it is revealed that the compensation package Boyd created for his abortionists included a higher rate of pay for abortions as the gestational age of the preborn child increased. The highest rate...

April 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Abortion defenders routinely insist that late-term abortions are unheard of for anything but the most heart-rending medical emergencies, but a notorious late-term abortionist admits otherwise in a recently-unearthed video. This week, the group Abortion on Trial published a video of an October 2019 deposition given by New Mexico abortionist Curtis Boyd in the wrongful death suit filed by the family of one of his “patients,” Keisha Marie Atkins. In it, Boyd says it’s his “calling” to provide “full-range, first, second, and third-trimester” abortion services. “There’s no set period” in terms of the gestational age at...

Amna Dermish is the Regional Medical Director for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, and in a recent op-ed for the Washington Post, she complained that she won’t be able to commit abortions in the state during the coronavirus pandemic. Referencing the abortion ban in Texas, which the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld, Dermish acknowledged that the world is facing an unprecedented health crisis. And it’s for that very reason that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put the ban into place to begin with; all surgeries and procedures which are not medically essential are currently not allowed, with the goal...

Dr. Jen Villavicencio, an ob-gyn and abortion provider in Michigan, sits six feet away from her husband in her living room after another grueling shift. In a small corner by the door lie her work clothes, which she took off as soon as she got home and before immediately showering. She no longer kisses her husband, touches her husband, or sleeps in the same bed as her husband. They use separate bathrooms and try not to occupy the same room at the same time, and she no longer goes into their kitchen. As the coronavirus pandemic worsens, this is her...

While states halt abortions to preserve urgently needed supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE), the abortion lobby is claiming that halting abortions wouldn’t help to fight COVID-19 anyway, because abortions don’t require much PPE. Texas, Alabama, Ohio and other states have ordered abortion businesses to temporarily shut down. Many of these businesses have resisted, insisting that abortion is an “essential” medical procedure. In response to these state orders, abortionist Daniel Grossman — who sits on the board of the Texas based abortion chain, Whole Woman’s Health Alliance (WWHA) — tweeted on March 25, “You can’t tell me that cancelling abortions...

Wichita, KS – A Kansas pro-life organization, the Kansas Coalition for Life, is reporting alarming news about an abortionist that worked for several days doing surgical abortions at Trust Women, an abortion facility in Wichita, who had apparently been exposed to the China Coronavirus (COVIS-19) while working in California. Mark Gietzen, Chairman of the Kansas Coalition for Life, operates a sidewalk outreach at Trust Women each day during every hour it is open for business. He told Operation Rescue that the unnamed abortionist arrived in Wichita on the morning of March 19, 2020, then gave the following account of this...
