A woman from Peoria, Illinois, filed a lawsuit on April 11 against a hospital in the state after they allegedly paid her $2,000 to have an abortion. The payment came after she was mistakenly given a drug that could cause birth defects.
According to a copy of the suit on The (Peoria) Journal Star, Reneizha Morris claimed she didn’t want to have an abortion at the UnityPoint Health-Methodist hospital located more than 100 miles away from Peoria. She said she felt pressured by the hospital’s risk management team to go through with the operation.
