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...

Warning: The following article contains upsetting and graphic content. Reader discretion is advised. CV NEWS FEED // An Illinois-based abortionist is facing a lawsuit alleging that he botched a surgical abortion by leaving more than half of the unborn child inside the mother’s body, prompting her to need an emergency surgery. “This was the worst thing I’ve ever seen at surgery and I’ve been doing this for over 30 years,” one of the surgeons told Melinda Henneberger, author of a March 23 opinion article about the lawsuit for the Kansas City Star. “We knew from the CAT scan that she...

Authorities are investigating an at-home abortion that led to the potentially-illegal burial of the preborn baby afterwards — potentially, infanticide. Lancaster Online reported that an East Donegal Township teenager in Pennsylvania ordered abortion pills online, with the help of her mother, after being turned away from a local abortion facility; she then gave birth to the baby, and weeks later, buried the body in her backyard. The initial abortion was committed last year, but police are investigating now; what tipped them off to the incident is not known, but a search warrant was filed on March 6th, and the baby’s...

Over one year after taking his 15-year-old girlfriend out of Idaho and into Oregon for an illegal abortion, Kaidyn Swainston — 18 at the time of the incident — had his sentence reduced to probation only, after originally being sentenced to five years in prison. In November of 2023, Swainston and his mother, Rachael, took a 15-year-old girl known as K.B. to Oregon for an abortion. At the time, Swainston was 18, and he was charged with second-degree kidnapping, rape, and three counts of producing child sexually exploitative material. Rachael, meanwhile, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, two counts of possession...

In a recent Live Action video, a young woman recounts the extreme physical trauma she experienced after the abortion pill caused her to go into septic shock. Shanyce explained she was a college student when she found out she was pregnant. Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she was unsure what to do.

Nakara Alston was leaving her boyfriend when she learned she was eight weeks pregnant. In desperation, she got an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Albany, N.Y., and moved with her two daughters into a homeless shelter. But something was clearly wrong. Several weeks after the procedure, she was still bleeding heavily and suffering from painful cramps. She took another home pregnancy test, and when it came back positive, the clinic staff assured her that they had seen the aborted fetus and there was nothing to worry about. It was only after she went to an emergency room that...

A mother-of-three who had all four limbs amputated after doctors were slow to treat an infection contracted during an abortion has told of the horrors she endured as a result of alleged medical negligence as she called for 'exemplary justice' to be done. Frenchwoman Priscilla Dray suffered septic shock within hours of leaving the Pellegrin University Hospital in Bordeaux following an elective abortion in 2011. The former shopkeeper, then 36, claimed she had arrived for the procedure in 'great shape' but was 'left to die' when doctors refused her antibiotics for the infection, leading to septicaemia and necrosis before doctors...

New York abortionist Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter has been fined $100,000 and is permanently banned from prescribing and shipping abortion drugs to Texas residents. This case could open the door for Texas to take further legal action against one of the largest organizations in the illegal abortion cartel: Aid Access. Carpenter works with Aid Access, a website that unlawfully sent 19,000 abortion pills straight to pregnant women’s homes and dorm rooms in a single year. The organization and Carpenter ignore Texas’ Pro-Life laws, which ban elective abortion, including abortion pills, except to save the mother’s life or prevent major bodily...

CV NEWS FEED // The New York Times this weekend published a report detailing a multi-faceted crisis confronted by Planned Parenthood state affiliates, which appear to be grappling with tight resources, inadequate staff training, high employee turnover rates, and complaints of dismal clinic conditions at various locations. On Feb. 15, the Times published Katie Benner’s article titled “Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis.” Brenner reports that the Times reviewed legal filings, clinic documents, and interviews with over 50 Planned Parenthood current and former employees. According to Brenner, the employee turnover rate at Planned Parenthoods in many places...

Dayton, Ohio – On November 15, a man called 911 to report that a woman was lying on the ground of a parking lot in Kettering, OH, a suburb of Dayton, hemorrhaging three weeks after an abortion. The couple apparently attempted to return to the abortion clinic, Women’s Med Dayton, but mistakenly parked at the pregnancy resource center across the street. It was there, in the parking lot, that she collapsed on the ground. Operation Rescue confirmed with the pregnancy center, Women’s Centers of Ohio, that it had closed an hour before the incident and had no knowledge of the...

A man in the UK has been found guilty after causing a “forced abortion” upon a woman at 15 weeks gestation, by drugging her with the abortion pill. Stuart Worby, 40, reportedly obtained and then crushed the abortion drug mifepristone into her orange juice. He also sexually assaulted the woman and forced more mifepristone into her without her knowledge. The woman was 15 weeks pregnant when her preborn child died as a result of the assault. After the victim suffered significant cramping and heavy bleeding, she checked herself into a hospital, where it appeared she had suffered a miscarriage. However,...

Second Frightening Emergency after Reopening Just Three Months Ago Wichita, KS – On October 21, at 1:15 p.m., an employee of Trust Women abortion clinic called to report that a 28-year-old woman was suffering from a possible uterine perforation after a “pretty painful” procedure. She stated the patient’s vitals were stable, though the 911 service oddly redacted her blood pressure from the audio file and computer-aided dispatch transcript. The employee also stated there were “no complications” and then quickly corrected herself to include, “besides the possible perforation.” “Countless moms have died as a result of organs being perforated or punctured...

Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho have filed an amended lawsuit in federal court, claiming their “sovereign” interest in “protecting… citizens” was violated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision to expand access to the abortion pill to mail-order dispensing. The lawsuit, State of Missouri; State of Kansas; State of Idaho v. FDA, filed on October 14, 2024, in Amarillo, Texas, is “asking US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk to rollback efforts the Food and Drug Administration has taken over the past eight years to ease access to the drug, such as allowing it to be dispensed through the mail,” CNN reported....

Maternal Abortion Injuries Continue in Illinois and Other States Where Abortion Rates Increase Flossmoor, Illinois – Once again the myth of “safe abortion” has been proven to be just a myth. On August 20, yet another woman was rushed to the emergency room after an abortion procedure – an occurrence which comes as no surprise in Illinois, a state which has become an abortion destination. The mother underwent an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Flossmoor and sadly joined the list of many women who have become victims of the abortion cartel’s greed. An employee from Planned Parenthood called 911 to...

The family of Amber Thurman is planning on suing a Georgia hospital for malpractice following her death-by-abortion-pills. In the summer of 2022, Thurman found herself pregnant with twins. She decided to end their lives using abortion pills to effectively drown her babies like a couple of kittens in a sack sinking into the river. After taking the abortifacient drugs, Thurman suffered complications when her body failed to expel all the fetal tissue (baby body parts) from her, leading to a serious infection and, ultimately, organ failure. Needing a dilation and curettage to clear her uterus, doctors delayed her surgery in...

Well-known late term abortionist Warren Hern recently questioned the care women receive when they are sold abortion pills by asking the obvious: Who is doing “follow-up exam[s]” and “tak[ing] care of… a complication”? In a recent interview with the New Yorker, “America’s Abortion Doctor” stated: “My issue with medication abortion is—is there a follow-up exam? Do you know if the uterus is empty or not? Who’s going to take care of them if there’s a complication? Because of political oppression, people are afraid to take care of the patient.” Hern fails to note that the reason so many don’t know...

Media Propaganda and Lies Used to Blame Georgia Heartbeat Law…Again! Atlanta, GA — Candi Miller, a 41-year-old mother of three children, learned she was pregnant in the fall of 2022. Candi had several health conditions (high blood pressure, lupus, and diabetes) that needed to be carefully managed by a qualified obstetrician throughout her pregnancy. Unfortunately, Candi reportedly fell prey to fear and trusted a website that provides mail-order abortion pills instead. In 2022, when Candi ordered the drugs from Aid Access, the international organization was using an unregulated distributor in India to ship the pills. It wasn’t until a year...

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her supporters in the media want Americans to believe pro-life legislation and Donald Trump are to blame for the deaths of two Georgia women who died from complications after taking abortion-inducing drugs. But Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life OB/GYNs (AAPLOG), asserts that Harris and her surrogates are spreading “dangerous lies” and using the deaths of these two women to promote abortion rights – a central plank of the Democratic Party platform. Harris blamed Georgia’s pro-life law – and Trump – for the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller,...

If you search “women’s experiences at Planned Parenthood” on Google, you will find mostly positive news articles about Planned Parenthood (with the majority on Planned Parenthood’s website), and stories about “harrowing” pregnancy experiences states that protect preborn children from abortion. However, a look at the Google reviews of individual Planned Parenthood facilities provides an interesting perspective… and tells a far different story. Though strictly anecdotal, these reviews highlight the allegations of former Planned Parenthood patients — that many women have suffered from medical negligence, coercion, and a lack of maternal health services at Planned Parenthood facilities across the country. The...
