This is going to probably sound callous but oh well.

10 years ago, a drunk 18 year old girl in my town wrapped her car around a telephone pole, killing herself and her 17 year old friend. Her post revealed a post-mortem BAC of 0.35. I am not sure how she even made it to the car much less drove it but she did. Alcohol poisoning occurs above 0.3. Her parents sued the bar and won. It was bullshit. This happened on St Patrick's day. The bar has over 10,000 people inside and out. And it was proven that she did not get the beer herself, someone else got it for her. How can the bartenders be held liable for this? It is terribly tragic that she died so young and took another friend with her. Both families suffered immeasurable grief. But no one held her down and forced that much alcohol down her throat. She drank it willingly. Her parents want to blame someone else for their daughter's stupidity, because, after all it's always the other guy's fault, their precious little girl was the victim here. She got drunk, she got in a car and she killed herself and her friend. Granted her friend was not very smart either, she did after all get into a car with a drunk.

This girl took an abortion drug. She was unmarried and pregnant. She chose to take the easy way out and kill her baby. She lied to her parents and the physicians about taking the drug. She could have gotten help that would have saved her life but instead she kept up the rouse so her parents would not know the truth. Menstrual cramps??? I live with three women, a wife and two teenage (16 and 18) daughters. When have menstrual cramps ever been totally incapacitating? She paid for her stupidity with her life. It's callous but it's the truth. And you can't hold the drug company liable for the stupidity of people that take their drugs. I am firmly against abortion in nearly all circumstances and am totally against the drug but it's the principle of the thing.

And I am surprised the right to life people would support anything having to do with abortion. I damn sure don't.

I understand your theory, but you're confusing a frivolous lawsuit --(your story)....

..with a deadly drug the Right-to-Life folks have been fighting against for years!...

...They saw this coming.....knew it would happen...but were unable to prevent it.

Now, this young woman's parents have come forward and might...might be able to do exactly that.....Stop it!

Because, money talks......money gets attention.....and drug companies don't want to face years of litigation & loss of revenue IF...these parents succeed with their lawsuit.

That's what it's about.
