April Newkirk said doctors told her more than 90 days ago that her pregnant daughter, Adriana Smith, 30, is brain-dead after suffering blood clots in her brain. The grieving mother says she has been forced to keep Smith alive due to Georgia's LIFE Act, which bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Legally, doctors need to keep Smith on life support until the fetus can be delivered. "It's torture for me," Newkirk told NBC Atlanta affiliate 11 Alive. "I see my daughter breathing by the ventilator, but she's not there." |
