Nakara Alston was leaving her boyfriend when she learned she was eight weeks pregnant. In desperation, she got an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Albany, N.Y., and moved with her two daughters into a homeless shelter.
But something was clearly wrong. Several weeks after the procedure, she was still bleeding heavily and suffering from painful cramps. She took another home pregnancy test, and when it came back positive, the clinic staff assured her that they had seen the aborted fetus and there was nothing to worry about. It was only after she went to an emergency room that she discovered the problem: The baby was still in her womb.
Twelve weeks after the failed abortion, Ms. Alston went into labor and delivered a baby who quickly died.
Ms. Alston filed a malpractice suit against Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood, one of several complaints about patient care at the New York clinic that women have brought to her lawyer, Louis B. Oliver. “Planned Parenthood provides a very important area of medical care,” Mr. Oliver said. “But I speak out and have sued them because even disadvantaged people deserve good care.”

Does “botched care” in this context mean the baby lived?
“Nakara Alston was leaving her boyfriend when she learned she was eight weeks pregnant. In desperation, she got an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Albany, N.Y., and moved with her two daughters into a homeless shelter.”
The poster child for an irresponsible human being and the Slimes paints her a courageous victim to be larded over with public compassion.
There was a time when people were ashamed to death of such irresponsible behavior.
““Planned Parenthood” never had anything to do with Parenthood.”
Truly an Orwellian term!
More accurate name would be “Ending Parenthood”
The way to kill PP is with malpractice lawsuits over botched care.
Planned Barrenhood
Every successful abortion results in at least one human death.
