Couple Who Said They ‘Would have aborted Down’s Syndrome daughter’ Win $2.9M Lawsuit
On March - 13 - 2012
A couple who sued a hospital for not telling them their unborn child has Down’s syndrome has been awarded a $2.9million payout. Ariel and Deborah Levy, who say they would have had an abortion if they had known the child would be disabled, claimed they needed the money to pay for their daughter Kalanit’s lifelong care. And a jury agreed, deciding on Friday that Oregon’s Legacy Health hospital had been negligent in failing to diagnose the condition in a pre-natal scan. The hospital is considering appealing the verdict, but the Levys’ lawyer urged them to ‘let this case finally come to an end’. READ MORE HERE

They would have aborted their child, but instead they are asking for money to keep her?? Why didn’t they just let someone adopt her? Wouldn’t it be better to let her go to a family that embraces a special needs child than one who wants to be compensated for her? It does not cost $2 million for the care of a Down’s syndrome child. Obviously, the values of the Torah teachings were lost to this disgusting couple.
