Printer-friendly versionMore lawsuits against abortion clinics. A lawsuit against the All Women’s Health Services clinic in Portland, Oregon was the second of its kind in the U.S. to be successfully prosecuted and the first to obtain a financial award. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a 15-year-old girl who was not informed about the psychological risks and the increased risk of breast cancer. The teenager has a family history of breast cancer and indicated a history of cancer on the clinic intake forms. The first case was settled in October 2003, when a Pennsylvania resident sued the doctor because he did not inform her about the physical and emotional risks before performing an abortion on her when she was 17 years old.
