$21 Million Suit Over Preventing an Abortion
This one ought to warm the Breck Girl's heart:
A jury has awarded $21 million to a couple and their lawyers for having a baby with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, which means it can't synthesize cholesterol properly. The lucky couple are supposedly owed all this money because they were told after their first sick baby that they could have normal children in the future. If they had known the next baby would have the disorder, they would have killed the poor thing when it was legal to do so, i.e. prenatally.
Since the primary victim is a doctor at the University of South Florida, the looters are going to need assistance from the state legislature, which has given government institutions a leg up on the private sector by capping lawsuits against them at $200,000. The couple's lawyer Christian Searcy, who describes the $21 million jackpot as "conservative but fair," is planning to lean on state lawmakers to make a special exception, since the child failing to be aborted "was so preventable and is so poignant."
On a tip from Wiggins.

Moonbats call this a "wrongful life" lawsuit. Sick.
