Planned Parenthood sued for forced abortion without anesthesia

A Colorado woman named Ayanna Byers is suing Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and alleging she was forced to undergo an abortion without anesthesia. Days after the abortion, she went to emergency room because of pain and bleeding to discover there were still parts of the child inside her.  
According to court documents, Byer claims she was prescribed the abortion pill Mifepristone for her eight week old fetus in October of 2012.  During a follow-up appointment, it was determined Byer was farther along than originally thought, and the abortion drug would not terminate the pregnancy.

At that point, Byer was "pressured" to have an immediate abortion at the Centennial Boulevard location.  Byer agreed, with the understanding she would receive an IV for anesthesia.

Byer claims medical personnel were not able to find a vein for the anesthesia.  Despite that, Byer alleges the doctor went ahead with the procedure - despite her request to stop.  According to the complaint, the doctor then told her the anesthesia would be give(n), then the doctor then turned on the vacuum machines, telling Byer it was "too late to stop" the abortion.

The complaint then alleges Byer was forced to "feel the full pain" of the abortion, against her will, and "fully awake."
