Unmarsched – Newsworthy
The family of a nurse in the Metro Atlanta, which was explained in February in February in pregnancy, says her baby was born.
There was national concern whether Adriana Smith's baby, the mother, would survive, especially in relation to legal questions associated with the State's abortion law.
But on Friday, June 13th, at 4:41 a.m., Smith's son Chance was born early by Caesarean section and is now in the intensive care unit. Despite the chances, he is expected to be alive according to 11. He was born prematurely and weighs about 1 pound, 13 ounces.
Here is more.
What happened to Adriana Smith?
Adriana Smith, the mother, had groomed for almost four months after suffering a medical emergency caused by blood clots in her brain.
Smith was declared dead for brain on February 19, when she was eight weeks pregnant.
Smith's mother, April Newkirk, said the doctors told the family that they had to keep Smith according to the State's abortion law, House Bill 481, also known as Life Act.
Newkirk said the hospital intended to take Smith on Tuesday, June 17th.
Georgia Abortion Act and The Life Act
Adriana Smith's case became known as The Life Act due to his intersection with the abortion law of Georgia, House Bill 481.
The law, which was passed in 2019 and confirmed in court, banned the most abortions, which was adopted in court in 2019 and confirmed in court, typically about six weeks after pregnancy.
This law protects unborn children as soon as a heartbeat is present and match pro-life values. The law defines an “unborn child” as a “natural person” with legal rights after the detection of heartbeat.
Her family said the doctors informed them that they had to keep them on life support due to pregnancy. In May, however, the general prosecutor's office in Georgia made it clear that the law of life does not prescribe a life preservation of a brain -dead pregnant woman.
“There is nothing in the law of life in which medical specialists consider a woman to support life after the brain's death,” wrote the explanation according to NBC. “The removal of life preservation is not an action with the purpose of ending a pregnancy.”
Emory Healthcare, where Smith was treated, has not published any detailed information about how the decision was made.
However, the baby survived despite the family's fears and is now in the intensive care unit. According to Newkirk, he is “expected to be in order”.
“He just fights,” said Newkirk. “We just want prayers for him. Just continue to pray for him.”
Newkirk organized a gofundme to support the family. The funds help with medical editions, care of her 7-year-old son and now newborn. It has already collected over 212,000 US dollars. Visit gofundme.com to donate.
