There is no tort for wrongful birth in the US — so I am highly surprised that the Judge didn’t throw this out. One hopes that it will get overturned on appeal.

The wrongful birth concept and title was tossed in by the editorializing journalist. The doc was sued for failure to correctly diagnose the first kids disease and give subsequent prudent genetic counseling based on the disease the first kid presented. IOWs, it's a simple malpractice suit.
