It's possible that women who become pregnant after taking the defective birth control pills Pfizer recalled today (Feb. 1) could sue the drug company for unwanted pregnancies, experts say. And they could ask for a lot of money.

Courts have typically thought about so-called wrongful pregnancy cases as similar to medical malpractice, said I. Glenn Cohen, assistant professor and co-director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.

Similar cases have allowed people to sue for things like unwanted pregnancies after botched vasectomies. In the past, there has even been a case in which a woman successfully sued a pharmacist for a pregnancy that resulted from errors in filling the woman's birth control prescriptions, Cohen said.

Ain't nobody ever got pregnant when they were on the right pill.  Holding an asprin between the knees works every time.  ;)  well, almost every time...

Glad I had a tubal.

Please do not share stories about your friend of a friend's tubal baby.

I know a girl that swears she tried that and it won't work.  She said the guy had bony knees and he kept dropping the pill.
