The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.
This whole thing was ridiculous and has delayed justice for dozens of women. I guess this mercifully sets a good precedent, but it’s ridiculous the original ruling was ever made. The LDS Church and its disgusting, patriarchical influence at work.
The high court agreed. Broadbent’s alleged conduct, it found, was not a part of the women’s health care — and therefore, not covered by Utah’s medical malpractice laws.
The fact that a judge would not reach this basic common-sense conclusion is pretty shocking.
