Oh no, it's a girl.

The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that parents can sue their doctors if a genetic screening misses a really bad flaw leading to the child's severe disability or death. Basically, the parent's would have aborted the fetus had the genetic defect been detected, or so they say, but in these cases it's all about the money. Money to support the child who can't crawl, but can probably hear them cry about how they didn't want it. It's so expensive.

Here's the irony. Ohio could hypothetically become one of the next states to outlaw abortion, and the whole "wrongful birth" argument will become null and void. It can't work both ways.
