Yeah, I agree Pepper that their should be a suit against the doctor for malpractice, but what if the doctor followed procedure and it was just a miracle?
And that doesn't even seem to be the angle that the suit is coming from...which to me shows why it is even sadder... she is mad she has to raise the child not that the doctor could have possibly put her life in danger! Who knows what really happened.... this women's attitude is just disturbng either way...

The article in the link doesn't say she is mad about raising a child. I think ya'll are guessing...unless there is another article I'm not seeing.

The way I'm reading it is that she wanted an abortion because of financial reasons...so says the article. I can somewhat understand. If she felt like she couldn't raise the child in her situation, and didn't want to go thru the connection of pregnancy, etc... she just wanted an anbortion.

The doctors messed up. She should be able to sue them. I would too. Probably......

If she is asking for costs to cover raising her child that is just some of the wording in the documentation. That's normal to ask for all you can. I have only filed a claim on someone once in my life( the guy who took $2500.00 from me and never gave me a motorcycle) When I filed, I filed for lost wages along with the 2500.00 because Ben didn't have transportation.

That's how I'm reading the article. I don't see everything so cut and dry.

I read it the same way, Traci.

I just find the whole scenario to be horrific, beginning to end. A 45 year old should know how to prevent pregnancy in the 1st place, rather than using abortion as a mean of BC. Botch abortion. Unidentified pregnancy. Birth. Suit. Sounds like some bad TV drama, doesn't it?!

Traci

I agree....

But I think PP makes it easier for some to get abortions that might not have, but they also keep people from doing "at home" abortions or leaving their babies in trash cans.

The world isn't perfect. People's choices are sometimes crappy. But someone has to help even with their crappy choice.

Yeah, she she should know. But we must be careful no to judge. Perhaps she was w/ an abusive person, etc. We don't know. Regardless.... this sort of thing shouldn't happen. What if she was doing drugs, boozin' it up, thinking she wasn't pregnant? Unfortunately... they might not know for some time what kind of damage was done to the baby, either from the mother or botched abortion.

When these creepy lawyers get a hold of you and go nuts w/ suits..... it can be crazy.

I don't know...I have a hard time when people site financial reasons for getting an abortion. To me it is just a cover for not wanting a baby that you conceived, and in most cases by being irresponsible. If she cared for the baby then money would not have been a factor in keeping it, and the adoption option is always open... We had NO money and we raised a baby...if there's a will, there's a way. She obviously did not want the child, and is still angry about this, or she would have let it go by now and even been thankful that it did go wrong so that she has this baby now that she loves so much... just doesn't seem like that is the case, like I said unless she is just in it for the money. Either way she doesn't sound like a very responsible person.

Very true... even in this enlightened day with no crime relinquishment of babies to hospitals and fire departments.. still babies are put in the trash. So, so sad.

Pepper

Yeah, that is something I just don't understand. Why not just leave it at least in a McDonalds. I wonder if they have a psychological assessment of a person that does that.... what is going through their head?

I find it brutally ironic that the folks at Planned Parenthood spend most of their time in damage control

It is a sad statement of our society when politicians protect a billion-dollar damage control industry because they don't want to embrace the preventative measures required in the first place.

Woman: I want the right to control my body - and the right to abdicate control when I'm around that burnin-hunka-luv at the sports bar.

Man: I'm all for abortion - after all - I get to have all the fun while the woman accepts all the risk - what's to complain about?

Women's movement: pornography is horrible.
Playboy magazine: pornography is not the problem. Respect for women is the problem - and we highly respect women - look at the quality of the photos!

Women's movement - one of our options is abortion.
Playboy magazine - one of your options (men) is to convince her to have an abortion.

Incestuous Father/StepBrother/Uncle to incested girl: You will keep your mouth shut - and you will do what I tell you - when I tell you or you'll get hurt. (Thinking: all I have to do is control when we do it, so I don't get caught - and her mouth - so she doesn't tell)

Incested girl - now that I'm pregnant my perpetrator wants to take me to a clinic to get rid of the evidence

Incested statistic: once the girl has the first abortion - the frequency of the incestuous events escalates - because the incesting "perp" knows he has infinite freedom now. In these cases - the incested girl might have as many as 10 abortions before she is 17 years old.

What she missed : the baby inside her represents her salvation - because it's the only real way that the "perp" will get caught. He's in control of every other aspect of the situation.

A baby representing salvation? That's not exactly a new theme, is it?

Statistically - most women who have had an abortion have had more than one. The ones who have had only one are in the minority. Of those who have had more than one - over half of them have had more than two.

So says Planned Parenthood - and they are proud of it.

Planned Parenthood originated from the Birth Control League founded by Margret Sanger -

Sanger had a dream that she could initiate a eugenics program - in part because her contemporaries were eugenics promoters from the 1920's Nazi movement in Germany. When the Nazis were discredited, she had to re-brand her movement and point of view to something more palatable.

But make no mistake - the purpose of Planned Parenthood - it all of their own writings - is to control the "bad seed" in the population through eugenics.

Many years ago - someone noted that more abortion clinics existed in minority neighborhoods than elsewhere - and these were highly ethnic neighborhoods as well - targeting whole genetic pools for both abortion and sterilization.

In many of these areas of the country - the Planned-Parenthood-targeted clinics have done more in population control through sterilization and abortion than the Nazis ever achieved - so the Nazis would be proud of their accomplishments - but disappointed in the "Americanization" of the designated gene pools - they would have preferred targeting the gene pool that was the object of the original hatred - as was Sangers - but Sanger's movement has been effective in the countless tens of millions where the Nazis were only capped at 6 million. Their dream lives on.

Planned PArenthood believes in a master race - as did their founder. So what is the master race - and who are their members?
