From The Boston Globe:
Boston woman sues for child-rearing costs after failed abortion
At this headline alone, I was sick to my stomach. I had to read one because I was so appalled....and here are some snippets from the remainder of this audacious case:
"...Raper claimed in the three-page medical malpractice suit that she found out she was pregnant in March 2004 and decided to have an abortion for financial reasons...Dr. Allison Bryant, a physician working for Planned Parenthood at the time, performed the procedure on April 9, 2004, but it "was not done properly, causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant," according to the complaint.
"...She gave birth to a daughter on Dec. 7, 2004. She is seeking damages, including child-rearing costs.
"...Raper's suit has no mentions of medical problems involving her now 2-year-old daughter."
A wrongful birth suit? It sounds made up but it's not. They are calling this medical mal-practice folks and though it hasn't yet went through the system, I'm afraid of the outcome. The real tragedy here is that there is a 2-year-old little girl being raised by this twisted woman. This child should be taken out of her home and given to a family who wants her! Instead, they mention nothing about the morality of a child being raised by the mother who is suing the person who failed to murder her appropriately. I can only imagine the how this little girl will have to grow up. The woman claimed she had an abortion for financial reasons so why didn't she choose the other option when choice one failed? She must be one of those people could "never give my child up for adoption." They'd rather them be good and dead.
My heart breaks for this little girl, now labeled a damage, a cost, a wrongful birth, a burden. It's a miracle she is alive but now must grow up in the house of the woman who never wanted her to be.
