Should the woman take the responsibility?

I was learning about teratology today in class, which is basically environmental/external factor other than the fetal gene that cause fetus malformation. The professor (a woman) brings up an example in the end of the class that a young woman came to her after a car accident. The patients was unaware that she was pregnant at the time of the car accident and during her treatment at the ER and OR she got a x-ray and anethnestia for her surgery. She came to my professor to ask about the probability that her baby have congential defect. After carefully analyze the patient's record and taken everything into consideration, she determined that the patient only have a slight chance above the normal chance of having a malformation baby. But the patient decided to have an abortion eventually base on the information she received. The woman later sue the driver of the other car for her loss of pregnancy. The comment my professor made was that the woman did not take responsibility of her own action and decided to blame it on someoen else. I don't know, I think the woman made the best decision she can and the other car driver is partially reponsible. I don't think you can say the woman didn't take responbility of her decision, that's totally unrelated to her later decicision to sue the other driver.
