In Georgia, a pregnant woman declared brain-dead has been kept on life support for over three months under the state's anti-abortion law. Her family argues that they have no say in her treatment, as the law mandates support until the fetus reaches viability. This case highlights the implications of Georgia's 'heartbeat law', which was strengthened post-Roe v. Wade's reversal. The womanâs family seeks answers and support from the medical system, which operates under strict legal constraints regarding life support and pregnancy.
Her family is upset that Georgia's law...doesn't allow relatives to have a say in whether a pregnant woman is kept on life support.
Emory Healthcare said it could not comment on an individual case...but released a statement saying it 'uses consensus from clinical experts...in compliance with Georgia's abortion laws.'
