A brain-dead pregnant woman in Georgia is being kept on life support against her family's wishes due to the state's strict anti-abortion law. Adriana Smith, 30, was declared brain dead in February but remains on life support to allow her fetus to reach viability. Doctors cite the law, which prohibits abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, preventing them from removing life support, even though the fetus may have health complications. The family faces significant emotional and financial burdens, highlighting the unintended consequences of restrictive abortion laws.
