Boston Woman Suing Abortion Practitioner and Planned Parenthood for 
Failing to Kill Daughter

By Hilary White

SUFFOLK, Massachusetts, March 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Boston 
Globe reports that a Charlestown woman is suing Planned Parenthood and 
one of their abortionists for child support after the latter failed to 
kill her daughter in 2004.

Jennifer Raper, 45, is including a second doctor in the suit who, she 
says, failed to inform her that she was still pregnant after the 
attempted abortion. The suit was filed Thursday in Suffolk Superior 
Court and is awaiting screening before being allowed to go to trial.

The suit alleges that Dr. Allison Bryant did not "properly" abort the 
child, who is now two, "causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant."

Since the nearly universal introduction of legalized abortion around the 
world starting in the 1960's, the phenomenon of so-called "wrongful 
life" or "wrongful birth" lawsuits has grown, highlighting the 
contradictions involved with legal abortion.

In 2003, a British Columbia doctor was ordered to pay $325,000 to two 
separated parents whose child he failed to diagnose with Down's syndrome 
before birth, and therefore in time to have her killed by abortion. The 
mother of the child said her daughter's condition "totally disrupted our 
plans," and resulted in the breakdown of the marriage.

An Italian court ruled in July 2006 that such suits were invalid in 
Italy, saying there could be no such thing as a "right not to be born."
