A teenager claims in a lawsuit that an abortion provider in Flint and his assistant forcibly terminated her pregnancy after she screamed for them to stop.

The Flint Journal reports that the teen was six weeks pregnant when she went April 9 to the doctor's clinic. The lawsuit claims she changed her mind before the doctor started and yelled to stop.

In a court filing, the doctor says the procedure was under way when she asked to stop and he had to complete the abortion.

The lawsuit also claims the teen was mistreated because she is black, a claim the doctor denies.

The lawsuit was filed June 12 in Genesee County Circuit Court. The seen seeks damages "far exceeding" $25,000 due to severe emotional stress, mental anguish and additional medical treatment.
