Wichita, KS — A new documentary produced by Life Dynamics, Inc. of Denton, Texas, reveals the filthy, and unsafe conditions that existed at Central Women’s Services, a former Wichita abortion mill that was purchased by Operation Rescue earlier this year.

Within hours of taking possession of the building that had housed an abortion clinic since 1983, OR President Troy Newman guided LDI’s Mark Crutcher and his production team on a tour of the facility, where they filmed and documented the shocking conditions that existed there. The mill was a member of the National Abortion Federation, an association of shoddy abortion mills around the country, some of which have recently been closed for their unsafe conditions and practices by the states of Florida and Alabama.

The documentary was originally part of LDI’s monthly video magazine, LifeTalk, but has been edited here to include only the segment on the conditions at Central Women’s Services. To obtain a full copy of LifeTalk, please click here.

Operation Rescue has plans to renovate the building to include a memorial to the estimated 50,000 pre-born babies who lost their lives there. It will also serve as OR’s national headquarters, where they plan to continue their work to close more abortion mills across the country.

Three Florida Clinics Resume Abortions, Two Remain Closed

Orlando, FL — The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration has lifted its ban on abortions at three Florida abortion mills operated by James Pendergraft, whose medical license was suspended earlier this month.

“This is a big mistake,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Pendergraft has already exhibited an extreme disregard for the law. By reopening three of his abortion mills, the State of Florida is placing women and their pre-born children at grave risk.”

Allowed to reopen as of last Wednesday are abortion mills in Ft. Lauderdale, Ocala, and Tampa. While a spokesperson for Pendergraft says that these mills will continue with other abortionists, Operation Rescue says that will not make much difference.

“Pendergraft seems to think he is above the law, and does not admit to this day that he did anything wrong by doing illegal abortions. Why should we believe that he will abstain from continuing to do illegal abortions if the law could not constrain him in the past?” said Newman. “Besides, Pendergraft’s other abortionist employees are no better than he is. Shoddy abortions are the rule and not the exception at those mills.”

The State of Florida has continued the ban on abortions at Pendergraft’s two Orlando locations, including the Orlando Women’s Center and the EPOC mill, where the state says Pendergraft committed illegal late-term abortions in 2004 and 2005.

“There is no doubt that Pendergraft and his cohorts are a danger to the public. Operation Rescue calls on Florida authorities to revoke Pendergraft’s medical license and permanently close all five of his abortion mills,” said Newman.

Action Alert!

Please contact the Agency for Health Care Administration, Hospital and Outpatient Services Unit and ask them to permanently close all 5 Pendergraft mills and revoke Pendergraft’s license. He has proved that he cannot be trusted to follow the law.

Los Angeles, CA — The FX Channel program “30 Days” that aired Wednesday, August 23, featured a segment about Operation Rescue, the Truth Trucks, and its efforts to support abortion bans across the nation. The graphic images on the Truth Trucks and other pro-life signs were uncensored.

The program was centered on His Nesting Place, a pro-life maternity home in Long Beach, CA, that hosted an abortion clinic worker named Jennifer for thirty days. His Nesting Place also operates a crisis pregnancy center and a number of other community outreaches, and is run by Pastor Al and Judy Howard, long-time friends of Operation Rescue.

Evidence of Operation Rescue’s ministry was scattered throughout the episode. In addition to an interview with Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, other ministries were featured using resources produced by Operation Rescue. Some of the literature that Jennifer was seen folding, which is used by His Nesting Place in their sidewalk counseling ministry, was designed and produced by Operation Rescue. Many of the large color graphic signs used by the pro-lifers shown in the episode outside the Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois, were designed and donated by Operation Rescue.

“It was our privilege to have been given the opportunity to have a small part in that program that focused on the awesome ministry of our good friends, Pastor Al and Judy Howard,” said Newman. “It is also our honor to be able to be a blessing to pro-life ministries around the nation and provide them with resources that have aided their work of saving lives from the tragedy of abortion.”

“We thank God for the opportunity this program gave the pro-life movement to expose millions of people to not only the tragedy of abortion, but the loving practical assistance offered to women by pro-lifers that have helped thousands of women turn their lives around and restore their families,” said Newman. “This counters the lie that pro-lifers only care about the baby before he or she is born, and proves our love and concern for the woman and her entire family. Show me one abortion mill that cares for the needs of the women to the extent His Nesting Place does. It simply does not exist.”
