Here is a roundup of recent pro-life and abortion-related news.
An aborted baby from New Mexico has won a wrongful death lawsuit against an abortionist.
The estate of a child killed in utero during the third trimester collected $200,000 under New Mexico’s wrongful death law.
The case, Wabbington v. Boyd, argued by Albuquerque medical malpractice attorney Mike Seibel, described the unborn baby as a “person” who was “entitled to equal protection under the law.” Seibel advocates for women who have been injured by abortion.
The baby’s mother had been under the influence of methamphetamine when she went to an abortion facility in 2020 and was thus unable to give valid informed consent, but the abortion was provided anyway.
The lawsuit said that abortionists also failed to inform her of support available to her in the state or refer her to the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department.
Seibel told Live Action News that the case was the first time an abortionist was ever sued for the wrongful death of a baby.
