I just read an incredibly sad story about a woman who went in for an abortion at 23 weeks. That in itself should be illegal to do, in my opinion, and in fact in some states it is. What ended up happening was that the baby was born instead of the abortion being performed. After the birth the fetus was put into a plastic bag and thrown in the trash. This all happened in the United States at a reputable clinic. I think that the clinic should have told this woman that she waited too long and refused to do the procedure unless the woman’s own life was at stake, and that evidently was not the case.
Now that this case is in court, my question is, what percentage is the mom guilty of? She wants compensation for her loss and emotional distress, yet she was the one who went into the clinic to have the abortion. How much of this is she responsible for? I’m not saying the doctors or nurses did what was right either. This is going to be a tough case. All I can say is I’m glad I’m not sitting on the jury.
