Hey, as crazy as that sounds, you know SOMEONE would try it....
The short answer is it most probably wouldn't fly. Most states don't recognize wrongful pregnancy as a basis for suit. Getting pregnant isn't an "injury" as defined by most state courts.

It kind of sucks though. If these pharmacists think it's so great for these women to have babies, it seems they should have to come by and change some diapers or something... Learn a little about the not so fun parts of having kids. It's not all a "blessing" when you're not ready for it.
