FULL TITLE: Nightmare Before Christmas: Uncooperative Planned Parenthood Caller Hides Crucial Info from 911 Dispatcher and Parents of Suicidal Minor Aurora, IL – It was December 24, 2018. While other families were excitedly making final preparations for Christmas celebrations, one family had much sadder plans. Even though it was Christmas Eve, a mom and dad escorted their minor daughter to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Aurora, Illinois. Once the girl was taken behind closed doors inside the clinic, the parents were left behind in the waiting room and in the dark about what was happening with their daughter. That’s...

FULL TITLE: Repeat Offender: Woman Nearly Bleeds Out After Botched Abortion Because Gosnell-Linked Clinic Lacked Emergency Supplies in Incident Previously Reported by Operation Rescue Baton Rouge, LA – The Louisiana Department of Health declared an Immediate Jeopardy situation at Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge in March 2019, due to multiple serious violations cited during an investigation into a medical emergency that took place on March 15, 2019.

Wichita, KS – A 911 call during a medical emergency at the Trust Women Wichita abortion facility last week revealed how much this facility was willing to put its own interests above a woman who was believed to be having a stroke. An employee of Trust Women, located in Wichita, Kansas, called 911 at 11:00 a.m. on July 31, 2019. Public 911 records obtained by Operation Rescue were heavily redacted but did reveal that a 45-year old woman was having sudden speech and loss of balance. Before the dispatcher could ask details of the woman’s condition, the Trust Women caller...

The Republican governor of Vermont signed legislation this week which makes it legal for minors to obtain an abortion without parental consent. Vermont law also allows non-physicians, including registered nurse practitioners, to perform abortions. To put in perspective how radical the state's abortion standards are, consider that parents have to give their child written or verbal permission to obtain so much as an ibuprofen pill from the school nurse, but do not have to approve of their daughter's obtaining a life-altering decision like abortion under GOP Gov. Phil Scott's new law. “Like many Vermonters, I have consistently supported a woman’s...

One of America’s few abortion facilities that conducts abortions throughout all nine months of pregnancy was the site of a medical emergency on April 2, 2019. The Boulder Abortion Clinic, owned and operated by late-term abortion specialist Warren Hern, summoned an ambulance at around 11:00 a.m. A video taken at the scene by a pro-life activist shows that the ambulance pulled into the parking lot next to the fenced and gated abortion facility and began to off-load a gurney when a worker came out and instructed them to pull around to the back of the building. EMTs reloaded the gurney...

Gone are the days when the pro-choice mantra was to keep abortion safe, legal and rare. The Reproductive Health Act, which is on its way to passage in New York, would repeal numerous provisions intended to protect women and maximize their health, restricting the legal options of women coerced into abortion and eliminating provisions intended to provide medical care and legal protection to babies mistakenly born alive following failed abortions. Let’s be clear: The RHA is not a simple codification of Roe v. Wade, as advocates claim. Rather, the legislation has components that should be disturbing to pro-choice and pro-life...

The crimes of abortionist and serial killer Kermit Gosnell are, by now, well known. But another abortionist is currently under investigation by the FBI: Douglas Karpen, who has come to be known as the “Texas Gosnell.” In 2011, Karpen appeared before the Texas Medical Board following multiple complaints, but they were all dismissed. In 2013, however, the voices against him grew louder as staffers from his abortion facility began to come forward, accusing him of committing grisly late-term abortions, after which babies were sometimes born alive. Instead of getting them medical attention, as federal law requires, Karpen would instead —...

FULL TITLE: Review: 'Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer,' a none-too-subtle take on real-life courtroom drama You can say one thing for “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” — it will never be mistaken for having a liberal bias. A sensationalistic police procedural/courtroom drama chronicling the criminal investigation and subsequent 2013 conviction of Kermit Gosnell (Earl Billings), an African American abortion doctor charged with the murder of three infants and one mother, the film adopts a sanctimonious tone that’s anything but subtle. What initially began as a probe into the dispensing of illegal prescriptions takes a...

Leftist hate of Brett Kavanaugh is unbounded – and it stems from terror that Kavanaugh will be instrumental in overturning Roe V. Wade. Yet while emotional leftists berate Kavanaugh supporters as inhumane and sexist, they conveniently overlook the atrocities of the abortion industry – and murderers like Kermit Gosnell. Time and again, the pro-choice media has sought to exonerate Gosnell. Liberals falsely claim his trial occurred because of religious anti-abortion zealots. Why? Because his story sheds light on the horrors of the abortion industry like never before. Masquerading as a woman’s rights activist and zealously pro-choice doctor, Gosnell was left...

I went to the red carpet premiere of "Gosnell" tonight, at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills -- within shrieking distance of many bastions of showbiz liberalism: talent agencies, law firms, movie studios. But the film itself was made without the support of the entertainment-industrial complex. In fact, it was financed largely by small donors on social media. It tells the tale, in deadpan policier fashion, of the investigation and trial of Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist who initially attracted the attention of law enforcement not because he was killing born-alive infants, but rather because his unlicensed staff members were purchasing...

Kermit Gosnell should be infamous as one of the most vile criminals ever to be brought before the American justice system. He was convicted of murdering three babies who were born alive. He performed illegal abortions in hovel-like conditions. He pushed prescription drugs as a side gig — which is how, as The Atlantic reported, he was finally brought down. Yet, just a few years after he began serving a life sentence, almost nobody remembers his name. The makers behind “Gosnell: The Movie” aim to change all that. The film chronicles the investigation and trial of the man they call...

Chicago, IL – Two women who received abortions at the Planned Parenthood facility on LaSalle Drive in Chicago were transported by ambulance in July 2018, to Northwestern Hospital for emergency care for serious bleeding. Since November 2017, at least six women have been hospitalized after botched abortions at this Planned Parenthood abortion facility alone. Two 911 recordings that were provided to Operation Rescue by the Pro-Life Action League, revealed important information about the latest emergencies. The first incident took place on July 5, 2018, when a Planned Parenthood worker called 911 for an ambulance to transport a 35-year old woman...

Director Nick Searcy believes his new film “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” is not a political piece but a true story about one of the most horrific abortion cases in America. In an interview with LifeZette, Searcy (“The Shape of Water,” “Justified”) said Hollywood took the film as political, though, and refused to go near it. “I believe ‘Gosnell’ is an important, unique film about an event that modern-day Hollywood would not go near,” Searcy said. “I pray it will make an impact. We tried to be honest, and we put the resources we had available to...

Women seeking abortions will have to go to Planned Parenthood's St. Louis clinic or travel to neighboring states, said a Planned Parenthood spokesperson. EFFERSON CITY, Mo.— Missouri is down to one clinic providing abortions Wednesday, after the only other clinic in the state that performs the procedure failed to adhere to new state requirements. Federal appeals court judges ruled last month that Missouri can enforce a requirement that doctors must have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals before they can perform abortions. The judges issued a mandate Monday for that rule to officially take effect. The Columbia Planned Parenthood clinic was...

A devastated British mother and grandmother recently lost both her daughter and unborn grandchild to cancer and abortion. Laura Kirwan told the Mirror that her daughter, Charlotte Smith, 23, of Blackpool, England, died unexpectedly of sepsis this spring after overcoming a battle with cancer. A year earlier, Kirwan’s unborn grandchild also died after Smith’s doctors encouraged her to have an abortion so she could begin cancer treatments, according to the report. “Charlotte lost her baby and endured all of that treatment for nothing,” Kirwan said. “Now all I have are the good memories and a picture of a grandchild I’ll...

A father of an 11-year-old girl in West Virginia who was arrested and ultimately indicted after arranging for an abortion following a case of pregnancy following incest may head to prison — butnot for the initial crime. As LifeNews reported, Michael and Amanda Adkins were arrested on charges of child neglect causing the risk of injury. While some licensed medical professionals were involved in getting information to authorities, WSAZ-TV indicates the abortion clinic in Charleston that did an abortion did not report the clear case of statutory rape. The indictment charged Michael Joe Adkins with incest, first-degree sexual assault and...

Bellevue, Nebraska – It was clear she didn’t want to be photographed. When the most recent abortionist came to work at LeRoy Carhart’s Abortion and Contraception Clinic of Nebraska in Bellevue, Nebraska, she was picked up by another employee and rushed past pro-life activists with a book over her face. But when an ambulance came for one of their patients on May 4, 2018, she came out on the sidewalk and watched the seriously injured woman was loaded into an ambulance for transport to a nearby hospital. Now, with the help of local pro-life activists, Operation Rescue has confirmed that...

A New York doctor who says he's done 40,000 abortions is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide in the 2016 death of a woman who was six months pregnant and bled to death. The case in Queens Criminal Court marks one of the rare legal instances of criminal prosecution of a doctor over a medical error, but Assistant District Attorney Brad Leventhal said that Dr. Robert Rho's mistakes went beyond civil malpractice. "It's about greed and arrogance," Leventhal told jurors last week during closing arguments in the month-long trial. He said 30-year-old Jaime Lee Morales "bled to...

PRESS RELEASE Queens, NY – In a move that shocked the court, Robert Rho accepted a previously offered plea bargain and admitted his guilt to Felony Negligent Homicide immediately after the judge announced that the jury had reached a verdict in this three-week trial. Rho will be sentenced and will surrender into custody on July 26, 2018, after which he will serve between 16 months and four years in prison for killing Jaime Lee Morales during a horrifically botched second trimester abortion. “Robert Rho killed Jaime Morales and has now grudgingly admitted his crime. He will pay for that crime...
