Tonya Reaves' mother sues Planned Parenthood over daughter's death

The mother of Tonya Reaves is suing Planned Parenthood and Northwestern Memorial Hospital for the death of her daughter after an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Chicago.

Dorsey Johns, Reaves' mother, claims staff at the Planned Parenthood clinic "carelessly performed" the elective abortion and failed to properly monitor and assess her daughter's condition after the procedure, according to the suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.

The suit further claims the clinic did not do enough to stop Reaves' bleeding, and that staff members failed to adequately warn an on-call doctor about the potentially life-threatening condition.
