Rockford, Il – (ProLifeCorner.com) – 9-30-2011 – by James – The Northern Illinois Women’s Center abortion mill in Rockford that is nationally known for the signs of racism and bigotry it has displayed and for the unsanitary conditions inside had its licenses indefinitely suspended by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
According to the suspension notice released by the Illinois Department of Public Health on September 30, 2011, “the department had found conditions at the facility that are a direct threat to the public interest, health, safety and welfare requiring immediate, emergency action.”
Rockford area pro-life activists have known of the horrific conditions inside of this clinic for years. Now even the state of Illinois has recognized the dangerous conditions inside this clinic as a "direct threat to public health, safety, and welfare."
We don’t know how long this abortion mill will be closed but we do know that finally the women and children of Rockford will have some protection from an abortion mill that is known for its dangerous conditions and celebrating abortion as some kind of demonic victory over God.
Below are listed some of the frightening violations documented by the State of Illinois about Rockford’s abortion mill in a June 2011 report;
The Northern Illinois Women’s Center did NOT meet the requirement of a sanitary facility.
It was determined "that 3 of 3 operating rooms inspected failed to ensure a sanitary environment."
NIWC failed to prevent potential contamination of clean equipment.
Gynecological cannula’s were stained with a "brown substance!" (Cannulas are surgical instruments inserted directly inside a mother.)
Shoes were stored inside an open box of surgical gloves.
Operating room #1 contained a box of opened surgical gloves stained with a dried brown substance.
The equipment used to sterilize medical instruments, called an autoclave, failed biological testing on at least two occasions! (An autoclave is an instrument used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure, saturated steam at 121 °C for about 15–20 minutes, depending on the size of the load and the contents.) The autoclave should be tested weekly - they went for 4 months between testing and then failed. That means that at some time prior to testing, the autoclave stopped sterilizing. If it had been tested weekly, then only a few patients would have been exposed to contaminated instruments before the failure was noted. By going so long, they exposed countless women to potential disease. If the instruments were used twice a week, then possibly 32 women were endangered (16 weeks times twice a week) with EACH instrument pack.
NIWC failed to meet the requirement that a qualified Registered Nurse be present in the operating room. This dangerous and illegal situation went on for well over three years.
NIWC did not have an RN in the operating room for over three years. It didn’t even have one on the payroll. There was no "director of nurses" to oversee care. Unqualified and unlicensed personal were doing the work of a professional nurse.
NIWC failed to document who was accompanying a patient when leaving the facility post-surgical procedure. It is possible that women were left to care for themselves after surgery.
Numerous instances of failing to meet state requirements in record keeping.
Failure to ensure physical exams was documented. NIWC also failed to ensure development and review of policies and procedures.
From "brown substances" on surgical equipment and gloves, to not having a qualified nursing staff, to equipment used to sterilize surgical instruments not working properly, this report is an indictment of the very dangerous and disgusting conditions that have existed inside the Rockford abortion mill for a long time.
We have seen racism, bigotry, and grotesque hatred for God and human life displayed in the windows of this clinic building for years. It seems this place is as careless, unprofessional, alarming, and dangerous on the inside as it is on the outside.
A local nurse who read the report from the Illinois Dept of Public Health said, "Yet, even with all these violations and without a registered nurse in their employ, they were open for business the very next day. What does it take for the IDPH to shut this place down? Do women really deserve this quality of medical care?"
Illinois Department Of Public Health reveals Northern Illinois Women’s Center is apparently as filthy on the inside as it is on the outside.
The June 2011 report from the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Health Standards documented numerous disturbing and possibly dangerous violations inside of the Rockford abortion mill. These pictures taken last fall show the deplorable and repulsive conditions of the outside of the Rockford abortion mill building.

The clinic parking-lot was empty except for three cars
The similarities between what the Nazis did to human beings and what the abortion industry continues to do to babies in the womb have always been clearly seen by people who value all human life. That doesn’t make it any less shocking to see the actual truck that hauls the lifeless bodies of these children to the ovens.
Yes, Fr. Pavone would be better liked if he remained silent and did not vigorously defend the unborn in both word and deed, but I can tell you the pro-life Christians who actually stand in public day after day and year after year have a Priest in Fr. Pavone who actually stands with them. A man, like Fr. Pavone who actually does something to save the unborn, can make those who just talk or write about it seem very uncomfortable.
