Lawsuit against Planned ParenthoodPosted: June, 2008

WASHINGTON, DC, AREA WOMAN is suing Planned Parenthood Metropolitan for injuries suffered by her then-13-year-old daughter in a botched abortion on Sept. 7, 2006.

Emma Jean Butler had taken her daughter to Planned Parenthood to abort her grandchild, who, reports Tim Waggoner for LifeSiteNews.com, was conceived in rape.

“During the abortion,” writes Mr. Waggoner, the girl “sustained severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation and a small bowel tear. In addition,” he reports, “parts of the child were found inside [the aborted mother’s] abdomen” the next day. As a result of the injuries, reports LifeSiteNews, the girl “will be infertile for the rest of her life.

“Planned Parenthood Metropolitan has denied the injuries suffered,” writes Mr. Waggoner, and denied the girl’s resulting infertility. And then “they state in their answer that [Emma Jean] Butler’s claims are barred by the doctrines of informed consent and assumption of risk. …

“‘In no other medical profession would this be acceptable,’” said Students for Life of America’s executive director Kristan Hawkins, quoted by LifeSiteNews. “‘How ironic is it that the pro-abortion movement claims they want abortions to be “safe, legal and rare” when in this poster case for abortion, [the 13-year-old girl] was permanently injured, resulting in infertility for the rest of her life.’”

Some people are incapable of shame.
