Quote | Reply
PP traveled 600 miles for a prescribed a medical abortion.
It didn't work.
Couple could have traveled back for a surgical abortion, chose not to.
Baby born.
Couple wants to keep baby.
Couple sues PP for almost (probably over with the throw-ins) $1 million to pay for raising the child.

You can't make this stuff up.

So many details of this story you seemed to have skipped.

They traveled the 700 miles to New Mexico because their state (Idaho) has a required waiting period and she did not want to wait (don't know how long the wait is she was 6weeks preg. at the time)

Quote:
the couple, in "extreme poverty," could not afford a follow-up procedure. Planned Parenthood warned her, in a letter, that the abortion drugs could cause birth defects.

The couple was “deceived into thinking that they could come to New Mexico and initiate the [medication abortion] and then return to Idaho without losing access to ‘Planned Parenthood Services,’” but the abortion provider allegedly told them they needed to return to New Mexico and get it done free of charge or find another office in Idaho and pay, as each Planned Parenthood operates as a separate business.
Instead, Coons gave birth to a "jaundiced and ill" baby boy, now 2, in August of that year -- one month early.

Would like to see how they claim they were "deceived into thinking... "

Quote:
The couple is suing Planned Parenthood for $765,000, the cost of raising "an additional unplanned child," as well as damages for negligence, breach of contract, and emotional stress, among others.

Oh and the kid is 2 yrs old now... wonder when they filed the lawsuit.

$765k seems way low to me, wonder where they got that number?

They should assume out of state tuition and go for $250K right there.

This will be nice story to tell the little boy or girl when he/she is 8 or 9 years old.

Average cost to raise a child to 18 in USA: $233,610.

There are a lot of people who obviously spend less. If you already have kids, the incremental costs can be a lot lower.

And there is alway the adoption route.

It's Idaho. Out of state tuition shouldn't have to be an assumption.

Dept of Agriculture report.

"The report classifies middle-class families as having a before-tax income of $59,200 to $107,000. Families with lower incomes are expected to spend $174,690, while families with higher incomes will likely spend $372,210."

They are probably not factoring in costs from all the times my kids broke my phone (or the wife's), destroyed part of the house or car, or drove the wife to go out for a mental health break to the nearby mall (alone).

If PP offered the "parents" money in exchange for the unwanted child do you think they would make the swap? I pity that poor child who now has to go through life knowing it was truly unwanted. Fuck.

This is why real sex-ed is important. And why abortion laws matter.

These morons couldn't figure it out, probably because their poor school taught abstinence-only sex-ed. So boom, baby. Cause their representatives have put up barriers, they drove all the way to NM. Sure, they could have hung out around Boise State and found something quicker and illegal...

If they succeed in getting the money it will be Planned Parenthood paying for Unplanned Parenthood.
