A new report sheds light on dozens of cases in England where mother are suing the government-run and
taxpayer-funded NHS health service after abortions they had failed to kill their unborn babies. The mothers
have won huge payouts — sometimes bringing in tens of thousands of dollars — after abortion procedures
went wrong. In some cases the abortions were supposedly done on babies with disabilities and the
mothers in question went on to have healthy babies after the failed abortions. The moms
who sued received cash for pain during birth and discomfort of pregnancy since
they went through with birth after the failed abortion. However, detractors are
blasting the lawsuits — saying the moms in question should feel blessed to be the mother of a healthy baby who didn’t die.
From the story:
Last night the former Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, hit out at the move, saying: ‘A
healthy child is an occasion for thanksgiving rather than for taking the NHS to the cleaners and
using up precious funds which could otherwise be more usefully employed.’
And TV presenter and mother-of-two Kirstie Allsopp, who has urged women to have children
while they are still young, said she understood that people who had suffered a serious medical
malpractice or had a disabled child needed support, but added: ‘It seems to me that to be able
to sue the NHS after the birth of a healthy baby is simply not something the majority of people
would agree with.
‘The NHS hasn’t got an infinite amount of money. I think parents in that position should think
twice.’
