Parents Suing For ‘Wrongful Birth’ Over Disabled Son Would Have ‘Chosen To Terminate’

In a 6-1 decision, the Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that parents may “sue a doctor for failing to tell them their child may be born with a birth defect so the mother could have an abortion,” reports Radio Iowa.

According to court documents, Pamela Plowman filed a lawsuit on July 31, 2013, “against FMCH, the Women’s Center, Fort Madison Physicians and Surgeons, Davis Radiology, P.C., and doctors Kang, Paiva, and Steffensmeier.”
