I mean really. Suing for the cost of raising a child?? I just don't agree. I say sue for whatever the procedure cost and the prenatal care she got once she found out, maybe even for the cost of the therapy she's gonna need after this nightmare. But while it may be a botched procedure that is to blame for her remaining pregnant, it's not the organization's fault for her being pregnant when she couldn't afford it. Most people don't abstain from sex when they can't handle the consequences, but whose fault is that? It just doesn't make sense to me to know full well that sex can and often will lead to a baby, do it, then be mad when a baby is made. Condoms, the pill, the patch, use whatever you want--but if the only way to make C is to put A and B in the same body.....when you put A and B in the same body, don't start suing people when C is made. She could've relinquished the baby to child services after she was born. As hard as it would have been, that would've been an answer to her problem and, since she's so hard up for cash, it would have cost a lot less than the thousands she's about to pay in legal fees. If you can't afford the baby formula at Family Dollar, what does she think the lawyer's gonna cost?!?!?! There's something about that that doesn't sit well with me....fishy as tuna, I say.
Give her what she's due and withold what she's not.
