A pregnant woman in Georgia who was declared brain dead after a medical emergency has been on life support for three months to let the fetus grow enough to be delivered, a move her family says a hospital told them was required under the state's strict anti-abortion law.

A pregnant Georgia woman declared brain dead is being kept alive until she can give birth due to the state’s strict anti-abortion laws.

A woman named April Newkirk says she is being forced to keep her pregnant daughter, Adriana Smith of Georgia, alive due to the state's abortion ban, even though doctors have declared Smith brain dead.
