An Alabama judge has recognized the legal rights of an aborted fetus — by allowing a “wrongful death” lawsuit brought by the would-be father to proceed, according to new reports.

In what could be a landmark case in the US, Madison County Probate Judge Frank Barger green-lit Ryan Magers’ suit on behalf of the estate of “Baby Roe,” the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

Magers is suing the unknown pharmaceutical company that manufactured the pill his ex-girlfriend took, as well as the Alabama Women’s Center for Reproductive Alternatives and the workers there.

The suit identified Magers as the “father of his deceased child.”

He alleged in his suit filed Feb. 6 that his then-girlfriend terminated the pregnancy against his wishes in February 2017 when she was six weeks along.

“In between the discovery of the pregnancy and the date of the appointment, Plaintiff repeatedly pleaded with the Mother not to kill Baby Roe,” the complaint said.

The pregnant teen’s father, speaking to the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity to protect his daughter’s identity, said she was “distraught” over the suit.

The dad added that she was 16 and a high school senior when she got pregnant and that Magers was 19 and unemployed at the time. The couple is no longer together.

“We had a long discussion over what she was going to do when she got pregnant. And we said we would support her either way,” the dad said. “They weren’t married, and I felt legally it was her right to make that decision.”

He added, “I knew he was pressuring my daughter to have sex, and I can’t believe we are here now.”

Magers’ lawyer Brent Helms said he was confident that the case could make it to the state supreme court — because existing law in Alabama declares that life begins at conception.

Alabama voters last year passed an amendment to the state constitution with a 59 percent yes vote that recognizes a fetus’ rights.

Helms said it could also be a landmark case.

“This is the first estate that I’m aware of that has ever been opened for an aborted baby,” he told WAAY 31.

Magers defended his suit, saying, “It can further pursue not only me, but other fathers, other future fathers, can pursue it as well.”

But legal experts said the case could have devastating repercussions. The US Supreme Court has long been clear that fetuses are not people and greater importance is placed on a woman’s rights over her partner’s because she is the one who carries and delivers the baby, Dov Fox, a University of San Diego law professor, told the Washington Post.

“The implications would revolutionize our ability to use reproductive technologies, to access contraception — and potentially impose all kinds of restrictions on lives and freedoms of pregnant women,” Fox warned.

The owner of the Alabama Women’s Center, Dalton Johnson, said the case is “unprecedented and we are assembling our legal team.”
