MONTREAL, Quebec, April 5, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A woman who tried to abort her twin babies has been awarded $45,000 in damages by a Quebec court, after a Montreal hospital left her still pregnant.

Russian-born Saoudat Batoukaeva underwent an abortion procedure at St. Luc’s hospital on March 26, 1999, the Toronto Star reported yesterday. Three weeks later, the hospital discovered she was still pregnant after a routine tissue analysis.

Hospital officials were unable to reach Ms. Batoukaeva, who had moved to Toronto. She discovered she was pregnant with twins after an examination in July, and gave birth to the babies two weeks later. The children were born prematurely at 25 weeks.the rest
