PERTH- A Scottish court has set a date for the case of a woman seeking damages from her abortionist for failing to kill both of her twin daughters. Stacy Dow is suing the Perth Royal Infirmary after the hospital sent her home still pregnant with the surviving child, Jayde, now four.
“I have got a child now that I wasn't planning to have and I believe the hospital should take some responsibility for that,” Dow told a London newspaper in April.
Perth Sheriff Court set has set March 2006 as the date for the case in which Dow is seeking £250,000 for the “financial burden” of her surviving child. Dow had been told that no “live material” had survived the procedure.
The NHS is contesting the suit saying that at the time there had been no indication that a child had survived.
Dow’s lawyers are arguing that Jayde’s birth has created an unjust burden for her mother. “As a result of the failed termination,” the suit says, “the pursuer suffered loss, injury and damage…She has the financial burden of care, upbringing and aliment of Jayde. She suffers an impediment in her ability to obtain employment in consequence of her care for the child.”
Dow is quoted by the BBC saying that she does not know what she is going to tell her daughter, Jayde. “I have got a child now that I wasn't planning to have and I believe the hospital should take some responsibility for that,” she said.
“I still don't know if, or what, I am going to tell Jayde when the time comes. Maybe when she is nine or ten I will sit her down and explain it to her.”
She added: “The hospital knew it was twins when I went for the termination so they should have checked even more carefully before sending me home.”
In recent years, “wrongful life” or “wrongful birth” suits have sprung from the abortion logic that unwanted children are, in the words of California pro-life speaker Scott Klusendorff, “a disease, the recommended treatment for which is abortion.” In Canada, France and the US wrongful birth suits are pushing legal experts and legislators to confront the legal consequences of taking the logic to its final ends.
Sweet.
Mother of the Year candidate.
When they make a film out of this story it will win an Academy Award.
If she were an American, she could run as Hillary's VP.
Why didn't this sorry-excuse-for-a-human put the child up for adoption? There are so many childless couples whose hearts are aching for a child to love....
Abort this Mother...and I use the term mother very loosely.
Sometimes I wish the Lord would go back to his Old Testament ways and start smiting some people.
What is WRONG with this picture?? Good God.
I hope that is her real name and she gets recognized as the evil, selfish murderer she is. Being outcast would be nice.
What's horrible is she will win.
Mark your calendar...I'm speechless
One thing I don't get is why she would speak publicly about this. This is a hideous thing. Why would you want others to know about it?
Somehow I think the has child already figured out that she isn't wanted, never was. This woman is a monster. I pray for that little girl that she finds a loving parent somewhere.
They are beyond contempt.
self censored
She speaks publicly because she has no conscience. She's greedy and this will come back to ruin here life. I hope her child finds unconditional love sometime in her own life because she's never going to have it at home.
Where she will deservedly be in the "hot" seat. :-)
Some day that child you tried to abort will have the power to put you in a "home" or pull the plug on your life. Hmmm. I wonder how she will decide.
More and more I believe I'm living in the wrong century. I love technology and many things about modern life, but this world is getting much too weird and crazy. When times were simpler....
