In March 2004, Jennifer Raper, 45 of Boston found out she was pregnant. She elected to have Planned Parenthood terminate her child due to financial problems. The abortion was performed and unknowingly failed. 20 weeks later another doctor was unable to determine that she was pregnant when she complained of pelvic pain. Raper is now suing Planned Parenthood and the two doctors for the cost she will incur raising her child.
First of all, where is Raper's responsibility? She should have taken proper precautions to avoid getting pregnant if she knew she was not financially capable of caring for a child. Second, she is a little old to be risking the possibility of having a child which is yet another reason she should have protected herself better.
As much as I demise Planned Parenthood and what they stand for, they should not be held accountable for Raper's mistake. Further, Raper's daughter should be taken from her and given to a loving foster family who may desire a child but are unable to have one. Although Raper's daughter does not have any known medical problems as a result of a failed abortion, I hope she will not develop any in the future. One thing is for sure, the emotional scares that will be inflicted years from now when Raper's daughter learns that she was almost murdered by her mother will be unmistakable.
