Biological children as opposed to adopted children.

so...Planned Parenthood not only killed another black child with the abortion but they also sterilized another inner city black woman??

I gotta tell ya. If the GOP was behind Planned Parenthood, they would call it the Klan headquarters. Only well-intentioned white liberals with lots of advanced education could trick blacks into killed off 2 of every 3 black babies in order to ‘control’ the population and be grateful to boot.

If the GOP offered to pay for Planned Parenthood to open up new offices in black neighborhoods so that the black population would stagnate and decline, maybe the democrat party would finally wake up and recognize that the genocide they support in their platform is politically harmful to them and the black community.

The abortion resulted in severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear. As a result of the injuries, Butler will be unable to have biological children the rest of her life. Additionally, parts of the unborn child were left inside Butler after a post-abortion examination conducted the next day.

Planned Parenthood makes coat hangers seem safe.

One significant question I would have is if the parent signed off on the unnecessary abortion and was aware of it. If they were unaware, then the lawsuit would have much more meaning for parental rights in particular.

Who reported the rape to the police? Probably no one if the rapist was the mother's boyfriend. Planned Parenthood never would.

Thank God for the people at Lifesite News! Who else would bring Planned Parenthood horror stories to light? Not the Associated Press. Not Gannett. Not the NY Times. Not Hearst.

Keep going Lifesite, kick some serious pro-abortion booty!

Unless what they mean is that she is infertile but could carry children, for instance artificial insemination.

The abortion advocates on the Left pretend that there are no more botched abortions now that it “is safe legal and rare”.

Probably as opposed to adopted children. The only way Butler will be able to have children will be to adopt.

Nor are they pros at fact-checking. They love to run tabloidy headlines, but then provide no source for the allegations. Not a word in here about any medical doctor having confirmed that these injuries are present in the plaintiff at all, much less that they were caused by the abortion procedure, or will preclude future pregnancy. It takes a colossal amount of damage to render a woman completely unable to carry a baby to term, and there’s not even a claim of damage to her ovaries or tubes. Incompetent cervixes are routinely stitched closed in pregnant women (and in most cases, incompetent cervix is the result of previous childbirth).

Surely you didn't think I was unable to extrapolate the writer's meaning from the sentence as written.

That was clear. What wasn't clear was how the writer didn't see a problem when the sentence was proof-read. Or perhaps it wasn't proof-read.
