Via OTB: Twin Survives Abortion, Mother Suing.
James Joyner has a lengthy excerpt and a link to the actual story via the link above. The basics: a 16 year-old in Britain had an abortion, but it ends up that they only terminated one of two babies. The “mother” is now suing for lost wages to be associated with the fact that instead of training to be a nurse she has to care for her child.
Much could be said about this, but one thought immediately comes to mind, like the Amy Richards story in which two of three babies were selectively aborted, what does one tell the surviving child? And in this case it is worse, because the woman in this story originally tried to kill the baby she now has. Tragic and almost unbelievable.
