The next day, she was rushed to an emergency room where doctors had to repair damage from severe abdominal bleeding, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear. In addition, parts of the baby were found in the girl's abdomen.
It was tragedy on top of tragedy, says Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America, in what she describes as a "poster case for abortion."
"This is what the pro-abortion movement has demanded, that we have legalized abortion in all nine months," notes Hawkins. " ... [T]his is a poster case, and they almost killed this young girl."
The victim will never be able to have children. She and her mother are asking for $50 million in damages.
Planned Parenthood denies the injuries happened, and believe they are not liable because an informed consent document was signed. But Hawkins emphasizes the case is not an isolated one.

How awful that the girl had to go through that after already having the traumatic experience of rape. Sure, having the baby at 14 would have been less than ideal, but having the child and giving it up for adoption would have allowed the child to live its life as well as this poor girl, who could have gone on and had a more normal life than the one she is facing now.
