Adriana Smith, a 31-year-old Georgia nurse declared brain-dead in February due to blood clots, was kept alive on ventilators until her 9-week-old fetus could survive independently due to the state's restrictive abortion law. Her funeral was held Saturday in Lithonia, attended by family, friends, and colleagues. Smith's son, Chance, born prematurely on June 13th, remains in the NICU. Her death sparked debate regarding Georgia's LIFE Act, which bans abortions after six weeks.
