Wow, they actually ADVISED her to have an abortion? I know doctors offer that up as an option when the possibility of birth defects is real but to advise her to do so? Hm.

They thought the medication for the dysentery would cause something like fetal alcohol syndrome. They were wrong but I don't question their judgement.

When my aunt got pregnant, they found out the kid would have cerebral palsy. They just started prepping her for an abortion immediately, only seeking consent from her after she was feet-up and ready to start counting backward.

Standard Operating Procedure, it turns out, is to presume abortion in the event of any birth defect. Let the mother scream she wants to keep her child as the gas starts kicking in.

Once again, blame the trial lawyers (specifically EDWARDS) and their lottery mentality.

If they had not advised her to do this, and Tim had been born with severe defects, some lawyer would have come along and “advised” them to sue the doctor.
