Nice.

I hope the women who were misled can sue for damages... significant damages. There's the medical cost of prenatal care, delivery, well-baby checkups, vaccinations, etc. There's often the cost of day care, school, maybe college eventually. Then there's the opportunity cost of possibly having had to drop out of high school or college or give up a promising career. There's the physical trauma of pregnancy and childbirth, and maybe the emotional trauma of having had to bear a child that was the result of a rape. All for a child the woman had already decided she did not want to bear.

I'm a little confused, though, as to why more of these women didn't seek a second opinion at another abortion clinic.
