Not excusing the doctor or mothers in these cases, but we also need to see more education AND decent healthcare.

If these women were independently wealthy, there wouldn't be the furore this has caused, at least not as much. It is convenient to use the financial costs to express our outrage over the carelessness of the doctor's actions and the possible mental health of the women involved. In actuality, the costs are a drop in the bucket to what our gov. has paid out to slick CEOs, banks, and spent on killing thousands in Iraq and elsewhere.

Like I said, not excusing any of those involved, just pointing out some comparisons, etc.
