Recently, Pro-Life Action League executive director Eric Scheidler obtained disturbing audio of a 911 call from Access Health Center, an abortion clinic in Downers Grove, Illinois.
Scheidler was so disturbed by the contents of these 911 recordings that he wrote an open letter to Sarah Garza Resnick, CEO of Personal PAC, a lobbying group responsible for pushing Illinois to have some of the most extreme policies on abortion in the United States.
You can find the open letter in the press release below, along with details about a protest the Pro-Life Action League is holding on October 17th of Personal PAC’s annual fundraiser at the Chicago Hilton on Tuesday, October 17th:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pro-Life Leader Issues Open Letter to Personal PAC
14-Year-Old Injured in Botched Abortion, Pro-Life Protest Oct. 17
Contact: Eric Scheidler, ejs@prolifeaction.org
CHICAGO, OCT. 16, 2023 — Eric J. Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, issued an open letter to Sarah Garza Resnick, CEO of Personal PAC, an Illinois pro-abortion lobbying group. Scheidler’s letter was in response to disturbing audio of a 911 call from an abortion facility in the Chicago suburbs, which Scheidler’s office obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Here is Scheidler’s open letter to Resnick:
October 16, 2023
Dear Ms. Garza Resnick,
Recently, my office had audio of a 911 call from Access Health Center in Downers Grove, an abortion facility. You will hear the call for yourself here.
On the Aug. 8 call, an ambulance was requested for a 14-year-old girl whose uterus was perforated during an abortion procedure. Thanks to Personal PAC’s successful 2021 effort to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act, this woman’s parents likely had no idea she was getting an abortion that day, or even that she was being transferred to a hospital. If she suffers more complications, her parents’ ability to provide care for her could be seriously undermined by being kept in the dark about the abortion, thanks to policies advocated by Personal PAC here in Illinois.
There is also every possibility that the girl was trafficked into Illinois from a neighboring state by an abusive adult. Thanks to the repeal of the Parental Notice, sexual predators know they can cover their tracks here in Illinois.
Additionally, it may be very difficult for the girl and her family to seek restitution if she suffers long-term harm due to any Access abortionist medical malpractice, thanks to legislation pushed by Personal PAC that protects abortion providers from the civil action.
You were also able to eliminate nearly all inspections of abortion facilities, through the Reproductive Health Act of 2019. If the medical emergency on August 8 was caused by unsafe conditions at Access, the people of Illinois will never know , and the Illinois Department of Public Health cannot intervene. Shockingly, the last time comprehensive inspections of abortion facilities in Illinois were done — in the 2010s — four were forced to close their doors. Now most abortion clinic inspections have stopped for good — thanks to Personal PAC.
During that 911 call, the Access representative declined to give her name. He refused to take any personal responsibility for the tragedy that was happening, at that moment, in the life of this unfortunate young man.
Are you responsible, Sarah?
If so, please come and talk to me tomorrow morning, when my organization will be exhibiting outside your fundraiser at the Hilton Chicago. If you really care about the well-being of Illinois girls and women — including the 14-year-old victim of a botched abortion — then get out there and explain to the people of Illinois what you’re going to do to restore Illinois rights parents and hold abortion providers accountable.
I will wait.
Sincerely,
Eric J. Scheidler
Executive Director
Pro-Life Action League
