Boston, MA (LifeNews.com) -- A Massachusetts woman who went to Planned Parenthood hoping for a successful abortion of her twin babies has filed a lawsuit against the abortion business for botching the procedure. Jennifer Raper, who is 45, wants it to pay for the cost of raising her two children.
In the three-page lawsuit, Raper says she learned she was pregnant in March 2004 and decided to have an abortion because she couldn't afford to have children.
According to a Boston Globe report, Allison Bryant did the abortion on Raper at a Planned Parenthood facility but the complaint said it "was not done properly, causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant."
After the abortion, Raper saw Dr. Benjamin Eleonu at Boston Medical Center in July 2004 and he determined she was no longer pregnant.
However, by September 2004, Raper began experiencing pelvic pain and went to the New England Medical Center emergency room. There, medical officials determined the abortion was unsuccessful.
The woman eventually gave birth to her daughter on December 7.
The Boston Globe asked both Raper and her attorney, Barry Reed, Jr., to comment on the case and both declined. A Planned Parenthood representative told the newspaper the abortion business doesn't comment on pending litigation.
Raper filed her lawsuit last week in Suffolk Superior Court and she must be screened by a special panel before the suit can proceed.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in 1990 ruled that parents can sue doctors in wrongful birth cases but that the financial damages awarded in such cases must be limited to extraordinary medical experiences associated with physical or mental disabilities.
ping!
Tragic. And what a selfish b*tch.
Why do these nitwits call themselves Planned Parenthood ?
Shouldn't it be "Dead babies R us"
I wonder how you pronounce her last name?
Tragedy for the kids, lawsuit for mom. What a dreadful person.
I hope we see more "wrongful birth cases" from here on out and subsequent lawsuits drive Planned Abortionhood into the ground!
Hey lady, ever hear of adoption?
This woman is a disgrace from many perspectives.
Sadly, someday these children will Google their mother's name and have to cope with it.
Can you imagine the mental anguish this baby will suffer when she is old enought to understand this lawsuit? I hope she gives her baby up for adoption, or some judge has the balls to take the child away since it is obvious she doesn't want the baby.
She is just exercising her "right to choose", first to choose abortion, now to choose to sue. Maybe John Edwards can handle the case for her...
Twins???
I've been following this story for two days, this is the first mention of twins I've heard.
According to the lawsuit, she is seeking support for a single child, a daughter.
Can't get rich putting your kid up for adoption.
What a vile, soulless witch this woman is.
Suing OB/GYN's is big business. It doesn't surprise me that abortionists become the targets of lawyers. This will shut down the abortion business.
I think the little girl's sister was successfully slaughtered.
Maybe the Planned Parenthood baby killer missed one?
My thoughts exactly. If she didn't want the child, adoption is the best solution. Countless families are looking to adopt. They will open their hearts and homes to an unwanted child.
What a sick and disgusting world we live in. This women is evil beyond reproach and the child should be taken from her. Who knows what else she'll try to deny the child next time she can't "afford" something.
I mean, after all, she already tried to kill the little girl once.
