*[Enwl-eng] They're forcing a pregnant brain-dead woman's body to brain a fetus to term

[ecology]

                        Georgia's horrifying abortion ban is the reason doctors are keeping her body artificially alive.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        She's Medically Dead. But a Hospital Is Keeping Her Body Alive to Carry a Fetus to Term, Because of the State's Abortion Ban.

                        Adriana Smith, a mother and nurse in the U.S. state of Georgia, was 9 weeks pregnant with her second child when she started experiencing unusually intense, painful headaches. She went to the hospital, but they simply gave her medication. The next morning, her partner noticed her "gasping for air in her sleep." He rushed her to another hospital, where doctors discovered blood clots in her brain. Doctors declared her brain-dead and medically dead.

                        But then medical staff said they had to put the dead woman on life support to keep her body alive, and carry her fetus to term. Under Georgia's abortion-banning "heartbeat bill," they were terrified of being charged with terminating the woman's pregnancy.




                        Medical experts agree that there is very little chance her body would be able to deliver a healthy baby, especially since she went on life support so early on in her pregnancy. Already, the fetus has fluid in its brain. As a result, doctors have warned the family that it "may be blind, may not be able to walk, [and] may not survive" after birth.


                        Despite this, she's been on life support for 3 months, and her body has reached 21 weeks of pregnancy. Doctors plan to keep her in this condition for another 3 months. Once her body reaches 32 weeks of pregnancy, they plan to cut her open via a C-section to deliver the baby.



                        But she is dead, unable to consent, and not aware of anything that is happening to her body. The woman's mother described it as "torture" to watch her daughter undergo this nightmare.

                        And in the meantime, the hospital bills keep stacking up. The family has had to turn to GoFundMe to raise money to cover these costs.

                        Georgia lawmakers must take a cold, hard look at the pain they're causing. They must stop holding this dead woman's body hostage, and reverse their grotesque "heartbeat bill"! Sign the petition!

                        P.S. Demand that Georgia lawmakers overturn their disgusting abortion ban! Until they do, this hospital — and others — will continue abusing women's bodies for fear of breaking the law. Sign the petition.
