MONTREAL, Quebec, April 5, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) A woman who tried to abort her twin babies has been awarded $45,000 in damages by a Quebec court, after a Montreal hospital left her still pregnant.
Russian-born Saoudat Batoukaeva underwent an abortion procedure at St. Lucs hospital on March 26, 1999, the Toronto Star reported yesterday. Three weeks later, the hospital discovered she was still pregnant after a routine tissue analysis.
Hospital officials were unable to reach Ms. Batoukaeva, who had moved to Toronto. She discovered she was pregnant with twins after an examination in July, and gave birth to the babies two weeks later. The children were born prematurely at 25 weeks.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Michel Caron ruled in the womans favour, even though the hospital had made efforts to contact her. However, he awarded only half the requested sum of $90,000 to her and her husband, on the grounds that she was partially responsible, having missed a required follow-up appointment.
In a similar case in 2004, a BC judge awarded a single mother $60,000 for a failed abortion. The court denied her compensation for the cost of raising the child, saying the joy she derives from the presence of this child in her life was reward enough.

I hope her kid grows up and cures AIDS just to rub it in that beeyotch's face.
I hope those children never have to worry about it. Better to put them up for adoption than have them under the care of that woman.
Congratulations! May God bless you with healthy child. However, you do play a role in the health of the child.
You are much better off remaining as acitive as you can for as long as you can. It will help at the time of delivery if you are still at your best phyical health.
Get out there and jog if you want. It will be better for your baby.
