DC clinic responds to allegations of injury and permanent infertility after young rape-victim undergoes botched abortion
ARLINGTON, Virginia, June 2 — Students for Life of America has discovered that a lawsuit was filed against Planned Parenthood Metropolitan located in Washington, D.C. on February 12, 2008.
Emma Jean Butler is suing Planned Parenthood for $50 million dollars in damages. Butler took her daughter to the D.C. Planned Parenthood on September 7, 2006 to abort a child conceived in rape. During the abortion, the young girl sustained severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear. In addition, parts of the child were found inside young girl’s abdomen on September 8, 2006. Because of these injuries, the young girl will be infertile for the rest of her life.
Planned Parenthood Metropolitan has denied the injuries suffered and the infertility of the young girl. In addition, they state in their answer that Butler’s claims are barred by the doctrines of informed consent and assumption of risk.
Kristan Hawkins, SFLA’s Executive Director, remarked, “This is a horrible situation. Our thoughts go out to the young girl and her family as she recovers from her injuries both from the rape and abortion. Further, it is outrageous that Planned Parenthood thinks they are excused from being held liable because the young girl was informed of possible risks associated with abortion. In no other medical profession would this be acceptable. 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 young girl was permanently injured. Making abortion harmful and almost deadly to the young girl.”

This is the one that the Pro-Abortionist didn’t want you to know about. Whether you are for abortion or against it.The facts are very clear. This is just WRONG!! How many times do we have to see the pain and suffering of another youth who in the moment of decision, chooses to take the easy out. When in turn they commit themselves to a cell not made with human hands but a place where guilt, fear, and shame team up and emotionally batter you everyday of your life.
We are killing our babies. We are destroying the very fiber of our culture. We as Americans, have embraced the principles of freedom, liberty, and democracy. Yet Abortion enslaves people in their hearts, in their minds, in their souls. This one act has and will devastate the life of Emma Jean Butler forever. How many Emma Jean’s do we have to read about until something changes?
The answer is not a quick fix. The answer is knowing Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life. It is in knowing Him that you really get to know who you really are. You are a child of the Most High God and He loves you. Wherever you are God can heal your wounded heart just ask Him to forgive you of your sins. Then ask Jesus to come into your heart and He’ll give you a brand new life. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make in your life.
