It must also be confirmed that the correct product is being used since many malpractice issues have centered around this issue. There is nothing new under the sun...

So, it must be confirmed that the device is absolutely positively untampered and working in the condition that it was given to the patient?

Also, can somebody explain what so called constitutional right was violated?

Not necessarily saying that her Constitutional rights are violated, but reproductive rights can = Constitutional rights (they're thought of as belonging under the right to privacy, for those who think there's a Constitutional right to privacy).

Is it weird I didn't hear about this story, even though I live about 20 minutes away from Baystate?

Agreed.

I think that a woman is entitled to have as many children as she can pay for.
And raise on what she and her HUSBAND make.

If that makes me old school, then hell yeah for the old school.
