The judge would probably be able to set aside any jury verdict based on the defenses which will be raised. Also, I'm sure the judge will keep a very tight leash on plaintiff's counsel regarding discussions of the morality of abortion.
Of course, the door swings both ways -- the defense would be able to show the jury a picture of the baby the plaintiff wanted to abort and is now simply trying to turn into a pay day by suing the good doctor who is only fulfilling a need of society. The plaintiff will be portrayed as being just as morally culpable (if that discussion even occurs), not to mention litigious and only looking for a pay day.
