A Boston mother is seeking compensation from Planned Parenthood, by way of a medical malpractice suit, after the abortion organization failed to kill her now two year-old daughter.
45 year-old Jennifer Raper, filed suit last week in the Suffolk Superior Court which claims that Dr. Allison Bryant, a physician working for Planned Parenthood at the time, was supposed to abort her child on April 9, 2004, but that it "was not done properly, causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant.”
According to the AP, Raper then went to see Dr. Benjamin Eleonu at Boston Medical Center in July 2004, and he failed to detect the pregnancy even though she was 20 weeks pregnant at the time, the lawsuit alleges.
It was only when Raper went to the New England Medical Center emergency room for treatment of pelvic pain in late September that year that she found out she was pregnant, the suit says.
She gave birth to a daughter on Dec. 7, 2004.
Raper is seeking damages, including child-rearing costs, alleging that Planned Parenthood and Bryant were negligent for failing to end her pregnancy and that Eleonu was negligent for failing to see she was still pregnant.
