March 7, 2007
A Boston woman has filed a lawsuit alleging that a doctor at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts bungled her abortion in April 2004 and that she had no idea she was still pregnant until about six weeks before her daughter was born in December.
Jennifer Raper, 45, of Charlestown, wants Planned Parenthood, the doctor who performed the abortion at the Boston clinic, and another physician who allegedly failed to detect her pregnancy in July 2004 to pay damages, including the cost of rearing Raper’s 2-year-old daughter.
Both Raper and her lawyer, Barry C. Reed Jr., declined to comment yesterday on the so-called wrongful birth suit. The complaint was filed Thursday in Suffolk Superior Court and still must be screened by a special panel before it can proceed to trial.
How loved do you think a child of a botched abortion will be, when he/she will be raised by the woman who sought the abortion?
 
So sad. I can’t believe that even after giving birth to and raising her young child that this mother would still sue, based upon the claim that she wishes she had never been born. All children should be welcomed and seen and loved as the blessings from God that they are!

It can’t be healthy for any child to be raised by a mother who would rather her daughter never had been born. This is what our contraceptive culture of death has gotten us. 😦
 
Yeah it’s sad that this poor girl will be raised by a mother who is still angry that she was born.

The daughter should bring charges for attempted murder.
 
What a miracle that the little girl survived. What a tragedy that her mother is still hostile about that fact over two years later. And what an unfortunate last name, as well.
 
The daughter should bring charges for attempted murder.
I was thinking about this the other day. I know there have been cases where children have survived abortion and are now pro-life activists. Does anyone know of an attempt at filing charges against the abortionist or the clinic?
 
:gopray2: God love that little girl! :gopray2:

Well, maybe the bad publicity will hurt planned parenthood. God works in mysterious ways.

What a pathetic attempt to seek money. I couldn’t imagine having a mother like this.
 
Money talks. There have been several of these actions before, but I haven’t followed them. I was under the impression they werent’ that successful.
 
My favorite is the woman’s lawyer claiming the woman paid for a “service” and did not receive that “service.” He makes it sound like she didn’t get the cup of coffee she ordered and wants a refund.

My real question is, Why didn’t this woman just give her child up for adoption? If she really didn’t want the child, that would seem like the best option.
