Woman sues for being born

Woman sues for being born
(Filed: 11/11/2005)

An Australian woman who is deaf, blind and physically and mentally disabled wants to sue the doctor who allowed her to be born.

Lawyers for Alexia Harriton, 24, who needs round-the-clock care, made the application yesterday to the Australian High Court, arguing that her mother's doctor was negligent in failing to diagnose rubella infection early in the pregnancy.

Lawyers said that if her mother, Olga Harriton, had known of the extent of the disabilities, she would have had an abortion.

"We are here for Alexia, for justice," Mrs Harriton said. "That's all it is."

Wrong. "We" are here for the money.

Simple solution. Give her to the PRoI for a little throat cutting practice. Her life would be over and it helped a poor religion of peace.

Can't this kind of mistake be corrected?

Too true. Did they ask Alexia what her thoughts are in the matter? Given a choice, would she choose abortion for herself?

Post natal abortion is an easy fix.

After all, you can never be too late in performing an abortion...

Wait a minute! She's mentally disabled? Who knows what she really wants and thinks? Sounds like someone is going after the money and maybe the right to kill her too.

You'd think that people who win lawsuits against doctors for letting them live, would continue their logic and commit suicide.

This poor lady is deaf, blind physically and mentally ill, she doesnt want to sue anyone. The people who have custody of her are the ones doing the suing and its all about the money.

"We are here for Alexia, for justice. That's all it is."

Well, if "that's all it is," Olga, it's not too late to abort Alexia. Why don't you just abort her ex post facto?

I mean...after all, if it's justice that you're after...???

In fact, you could have an ex post facto abortion performed on yourself and rid yourself of all of the injustices of this world--including the desire to force the people of Australia to support you and Alexia instead of spending their hard-earned money on health care for themselves and their families.

Nobody's birth was by his/her own choice. And never will be.

So... if a law suit is filed, shouldn't it be against the parents? Aren't they the ones that made the decision to go through the motions (Pardon the pun) have a child?

Or better yet, sue God.

It's his fault! {Sarcasm off!}

It is so sad that we've come to this kind of thinking in our society.

For liberals, a 24 yr old still qualifies for post-womb late-term abortion.
