Bianca Coons and Cristobal Ruiz filed the lawsuit against a Planned Parenthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico demanding $765,000 for the cost of raising the child and other damages, the Albuquerque Journal reported. In February 2016, the couple drove more than 700 miles from their home in Idaho to the abortion clinic in New Mexico, according to the suit. Coons was six weeks pregnant at the time, and feared that Idaho's mandatory waiting period would take her further into the pregnancy than she felt morally comfortable with an abortion. In February 2016, the couple drove more than 700 miles from their home in Idaho to this abortion clinic in New Mexico, according to the suit The couple already had two children at the time, and feared that they couldn't support another, according to the complaint. In New Mexico, Coons underwent a medicated abortion, which uses two different medications to terminate a pregnancy. Coons was given the first medication at the New Mexico clinic, along with instructions to take the second medication back in Idaho, her lawsuit states. The couple's attorney, John McCall, said she took the second round of medication as instructed. But a blood test showed that she was still pregnant. The lawsuit states that Planned Parenthood offered to perform a second procedure for free in the New Mexico clinic, or said that Coons could go to an Idaho clinic and undergo the procedure for a fee. Coons said she took the abortifacient as instructed but was still pregnant (stock image) The couple say they didn't have the money for a second trip to New Mexico, however. As well, by this point Coons was around nine weeks pregnant. 'Ms. Coons could not morally sanction further action to terminate the fetus,' the suit states. The lawsuit claims that the couple's son was born a month early 'with jaundice and blood sugar issues,' and the family continues to worry that he 'may carry a defect or injury into adulthood.' A Planned Parenthood spokeswoman said she was unable to comment on pending litigation, and declined to comment on specific patients out of respect for patient privacy.
