November 2018
Article Synopsis
- "Wrongful birth" is a legal claim where mothers argue that doctors didn't give them enough information about their baby's disability, which affected their choice to have an abortion.
- Some groups, like pro-life activists and disability rights advocates, oppose these claims because they think they make people with disabilities seem like a problem or a burden.
- The article suggests changing the legal process to better understand and support mothers by recognizing their mixed feelings about their children, instead of blaming them for how they feel.

They also recognise that women's right to life and other human rights are at stake where restrictive abortion laws are in place.
