Health surveys, uncovered by an an Indianapolis based pro-life group, expose poor medical practices inside Planed Parenthood centers and local abortion clinics.

The discovery was made by Right to Life of Indianapolis ( RTLI) after the group requested health surveys of local abortion facilities conducted by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).

Indiana state law requires the ISDH to inspect abortion facilities at least once every two years and produce a written survey of findings.

Right to Life of Indianapolis has listed the following examples of what they found:

    At Planned Parenthood on Georgetown Road in Indianapolis, the survey found improper monitoring of oxygen saturation levels for several patients. If a patient’s oxygen saturation level falls below 93 percent, a physician should be alerted and if it falls below 90 percent oxygen should be started.

    According to a sample of medical records checked during the survey, 18 of 30 patients had no record of their oxygen levels being monitored and one patient was documented to have an oxygen saturation level of 76 percent with no record of a physician being alerted or oxygen being started.

    At the same facility, patients were given the maximum dose of Fentanyl, a narcotic pain reliever. However, Fentanyl dosing is based on weight and the survey showed that at least 17 of the 18 patients whose records were reviewed were under the weight for the maximum dose.

    The survey of Planned Parenthood in Bloomington revealed incomplete records for many patients, among other findings. Some state forms were missing and medical history questions, such as one regarding a bleeding disorder, were not completed. The survey revealed that vital signs were not appropriately checked for 18 of 20 surgical abortion patients.

    The surveys for Clinic for Women and Women’s Medical Group showed both facilities had problems with patient medical records as well. Additionally, these two facilities had unsanitary environments. For example, the Clinic for Women survey detailed a tear in the lower end of the exam table’s leather cover, allowing a protrusion of foam the size of the golf ball.

    At Women’s Medical Group, the clean and soiled linens were stored in the same place and sterilization procedures were not carried out for sterilizing tubing and surgical instruments.

On their website, Women’s Medical Group lists doctors Martin Haskell who recently closed his Sharonville, Ohio abortion facility after a judge issued a ruling upholding the Ohio Department of Health’s closure order because it does not meet minimum requirements for licensure.

Also listed are abortionists Roslyn Kade and Neil Strickland.

NOTE: According to the pro-life group Clinic for Women is the same abortion facility where Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s office filed administrative licensing complaints against three abortionists, Resad Pasic, Kathleen Glover and Raymond Robinson. They will be facing a hearing on April 23 in front of the Indiana Medical Licensing Board.

In addition to urging the state to stop unsanitary and unprofessional practices at abortion clinics, RTLI is urging the Indiana Medical Licensing Board to study the alleged violations leveled against abortion doctors Resad Pasic, Kathleen Glover and Raymond Robinson, and consider appropriate disciplinary action, as needed.

“The abortion industry has alleged for years that if abortion is legal, it will be safe. These surveys show just how false this claim is,” the pro-life groups states.

#33 – The Chemical Abortion Business Is Just As Sleazy As The Regular Abortion Business

The abortion lobby tries to lure doctors, pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies, and drug store chains into getting involved with abortion pills by subtly implying that the chemical abortion business is not as sleazy as the regular abortion business. These people can sugar coat it all they want to, but when one of these human pesticides is used to poison an unborn child, every person involved becomes an abortionist.
