Adriana Smith, a brain-dead Georgia woman since February, delivered a premature baby via C-section. She is expected to be taken off life support this week. Her continued life support was reportedly due to Georgia's six-week abortion ban, which has narrow exceptions. The case sparked national debate, with some arguing the law mandated keeping her alive until birth, while others disagree. The baby, weighing 1 pound 13 ounces, requires intensive care. The hospital cited Georgia's abortion laws in declining comment.
