HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Madison County probate court Judge Frank Barger allowed an Alabama man to name his aborted child as a co-plaintiff in his lawsuit against an abortion facility. This is the first time in the United States that an aborted baby has been recognized to have legal rights.
In Baby Roe vs. Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives, the 19-year-old father of the baby is suing an abortion facility for providing an abortion to a woman he says was pregnant with his child. Ryan Magers claims his girlfriend got a medicated abortion at the Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives in Huntsville in February 2017 when she was six weeks pregnant even though he urged her not to terminate the pregnancy. Magers is seeking a jury trial and the probate judge allowed him to represent the unborn child’s estate. The abortion facility has until April 1 to respond to the lawsuit.
