Pro-Abortion Volunteers Play Music, Block Pro-Lifers Outside Surgical Abortion Facility

On Tuesday Family Council received video showing pro-abortion volunteers apparently attempting to block pro-lifers from making contact with women at Little Rock Family Planning Services.

Little Rock Family Planning Services is Arkansas’ only surgical abortion facility.

Last week Family Council reported on an ambulance dispatched to the facility as the result of an apparent botched abortion.

Tuesday’s video appears to show pro-abortion volunteers standing on the facility’s property line, using umbrellas and music to prevent pro-life volunteers from engaging in outreach at the facility.

Below is video provided to Family Council.

Pro-lifers routinely gather outside the facility for peaceful prayer and to talk with women about pro-life alternatives. Multiple unborn children have been saved from abortion because of their ministry.

Some pro-life groups estimate the “no-show” rate for abortion appointments can go to as high as 75% when people pray in front of an abortion facility.

The fact that pro-abortion volunteers would engage in activity that seems to be intended to stop pro-lifers from making contact with women at the abortion facility speaks volumes about how effective this pro-life ministry is.

Dispatch Documents Shed Little Light on Woman Transported From Abortion Facility by Ambulance

Last week Family Council reported on an ambulance spotted at Little Rock Family Planning Services — Arkansas’ only surgical abortion facility.

Pro-life volunteers outside the facility reportedly saw a woman transported by ambulance on Tuesday afternoon last week. Photos and video of the incident show clinic volunteers obscuring the woman from view as she was taken to the ambulance.

This week Family Council received 911 dispatch reports from the incident obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.

The redacted reports indicate that the woman was taken to UAMS in Little Rock.

Act 740 of 2021 requires abortionists to maintain transfer agreements with local hospitals to handle these sorts of emergencies. Little Rock Family Planning Services maintains an ambulance transport agreement with MEMS and a hospital transfer agreement with UAMS.

The reports also list the woman’s priority level as a “Code 2.” In the past, Family Council has been told that Code 2 suggests the situation was urgent, but not necessarily life-threatening.

The whole incident is strikingly similar to apparent botched abortions at the same surgical abortion facility in 2018 and in 2019.

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to possibly overturn Roe v. Wade and pro-lifers brace for a “summer of rage” from abortion activists, incidents like these continue to remind us that abortion takes the life of an unborn child, and it carries serious risks for women.
