Hope Abortion Clinic vs. Parents’ Rights

Late-term chop-shop playing “parent” when it comes to children’s health

Granite City ’s Underage Abortion Abyss

The Hope Clinic for Women, the Midwest’s largest, late-term abortion mill located in Granite City , IL , filed a lawsuit October 13 in Cook County Circuit Court asking a judge to prevent the state from enforcing the Parental Notification Law passed in 1984 and updated in 1995. The law requires that parents be notified 48 hours in advance before an abortion is performed on a girl 17 or younger.

Why would this so-called medical facility not want a child’s parents involved in their serious and evasive medical decisions that could have serious, detrimental side effects, including sterility and death? Because it is all about money.

Underage girls coming from surrounding states such as Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi are this abortion mill’s main source of revenue, which is why if this law takes effect Hope abortion mill will be in danger of closing its doors.

Former workers have informed us that Hope abortion mill is bleeding money right now. They need money to fight lawsuits that have been filed against them for gross negligence, malpractice, and medical battery. This is all public knowledge. If they don’t have income to cover the lawsuit bleed, they will go broke.  That is why management terminated or retired over 30 employees in the past eighteen months. They are down to one abortionist, when at one point they had four. Supply and demand is what keeps them going. Most of their demand is crossing state lines.

Why are we allowing Hope abortion mill to trump parental rights when it comes to our children’s healthcare? And healthcare is a stretch because there is nothing healthy about dismembering unborn babies. The nine most common “major” complications of abortion are infection, excessive bleeding, embolism, ripping or perforation of the uterus, anesthesia complications, convulsions, hemorrhage, cervical injury, and endotoxic shock.

Where is the outrage in Granite City when a mother is arrested for trying to intervene, not so much to stop the abortion of her grandchild, but to be with her underage daughter who is making life and death decisions and undergoing evasive surgery? Why is Hope Clinic allowed to play parent for 2-4 hours, and then kick these girls out into the world for society to deal with? This is wrong! Where is the outrage?

Do we leave it up to our 12 year olds to have their appendix taken out? Can they go to the mall to have their ears pierced without us? NO! Then why are we allowing them to have female surgery without our consent or even notice? Because it is all about the money!
