NO COMPO FOR SURVIVORS OF LATE-TERM ABORTIONS; THEY'RE NOT VICTIMS OF A CRIME (Letter to Dom Post, May 19

Let me try to get this straight. An English teenager named Molly is awarded $500,000 compensation for severe brain damage suffered in the womb (May 19). She’s considered the victim of a crime because her mother drank heavily despite warnings about the risks to her unborn child. But then the authorities declare such unborn babies are not victims of a crime. And now 80 such children in Britain say they too were criminally ‘poisoned’ by their mothers, and being denied compensation isn’t fair.  

It would seem survivors of late-term abortions could demand compensation, too. Why not? Oh, I get it. They were left to die on the floor of the operating theatre, suffering only God knows what injuries,  but they won’t be entitled to compensation because they’re not victims of a crime.
