ATLANTA – – A tragic medical case in which a brain -fat pregnant woman is involved, the political and legal debate about the abortion law in Georgia. The family of 30-year-old Adriana Smith claims that due to the state's life law, they are unable to make decisions about their care.

What we know:
Smith, a nurse and an expected mother, was declared on February 19 after a catastrophic medical emergency. Since then she has remained in life support at the Emory University Hospital.
Her family says that Georgia's law has deprived you of deciding what will happen next. In an explanation published on a Gofundme page, Smith's mother wrote: “Since she expected her unborn child, she is kept on life preservation due to the heartbeat in Georgia, but sadly to know that we do not say this in relation to her lifeless body and unborn child.”
The life law adopted in 2019 prohibits the most abortions as soon as cardiac activity is demonstrated, typically about six weeks. While the law was not intended to deal with the care of the lifespan of pregnant women, Adriana Smith's case has shown gaps in the interpretation, which now draws attention to from both sides of political gait.
What you say:
The democratic state Senator Nabilah Islam Parkes (D-Duluth) was outraged that the decision was not left to Smith's family. On Tuesday, she sent a letter to governor Brian Kemp, in which she applied for clarification and asked him to spend the public prosecutor in general.
“I will ask him to ask his Attorney General to put together a legal opinion on the law on abortion. We ask that there is no gray area,” said Sen. Parkes.
The other side:
The Republican Senator Ed Settler (R-Acworth), who sponsored the Life Act, defended the law and emphasized that in the case of the health system and maintaining life-his abortion rights are concerned.
“I think those who try to use this politically try to make them a question of an abortion question if this is really a problem of health care and humanity from two separate patients,” said Setezler.
He added that the doctors from Emory had acted appropriately in prioritizing the mother and the unborn child.
“Our heart goes to Ms. Smith's family and I am only grateful for the doctors that there are some challenging decisions that I have to make, it is hopeful that there is a living human life that can be saved from it, and I think there are millions of Georgians who feel like this,” said Sen. Setzler.
Attorney General Chris Carr has also given an explanation and clarified that the law of life does not require that doctors maintain life support in brain death. “The removal of life preservation is not an action with the purpose of ending a pregnancy,” the explanation says.
