Woman Sues for Failed Abortion. Your Thoughts?

[Infamous12]

It was my understanding that the small print on abortions was always that it was not 100% effective...just like condoms.

I know we all learned in 7th grade health class, that the only way to be sure to not be pregnant is to be...(say it with me) ABSTINENT.

I am very interested to see how this case turns out though. Hopefully it doesn't drag out for too long. How would feel to know that the lucrative case your mother is fighting is regarding how she didn't want you to begin with???

Doesn't it make sense to sue for failed surgical procedures, in general?

Not just like condoms. Condoms are preventive just like other forms of birth control. That's why their failure rate is expected and makes sense.

Abortions are supposed to target an ENTITY and remove it, right? Why shouldn't patients expect it to be 100%?

I agree with you. We are not talking about a condom that broke. We are talking about someone who PAID for a procedure that was not correctly carried out. That can be construed as malpractice. Power to her. I would not want to be her kid who finads out in 20 years that Mommy tried to get rid of me and we have that Porsche Jeep in the driveway because it didn't work.
