BroadwaybabytoThe cruel medical experiment on a black pregnant woman in Georgia will finally come to an end.
Adriana Smith was declared brain dead at 9 weeks pregnant after an ER sent her home with blood clots in her brain.
The hospital kept her body alive due to Georgia’s abortion ban
Adriana was a nurse who went to the ER due to severe headaches. She was dismissed despite blood clots in her brain and declared brain dead the next day.
Her body was placed on organ & tissue support due to the State’s strict abortion ban.
The family were not asked to consent. They had no say in the matter.
It’s generally not medically indicated to try and keep a body alive for a fetus of that age.
Only a handful of cases exist in the medical literature.
In the 35 cases studied, the median gestational age at time of brain death was 20 weeks, not 9.
27 neonates were born alive, only 8 were described as “healthy”
There was no medical precedent for what happened to Adriana.
In total she spent nearly 4 months on life support, all without her consent or the consent of next of kin.
The baby, Chance, has been born at 1lb 13oz and is in the NICU. Details about his prognosis are not yet known
The costs associated with both Adriana’s ICU stay and Chance’s NICU stay will be astronomical, and it remains to be seen if her family will be forced to pay them.
What we do know is the state forced this birth. The hospital forced this birth.
They won’t be the ones to care for the child, but they stripped Adriana and her family of their autonomy and dignity due to an abortion ban that seeks to control women.
They experimented on her to see if women can be treated as nothing more than vessels for fetuses.
Misogynoir killed Adriana, and then the State opted to experiment on her body.
That’s what happened here.
I’m glad that the baby has been born alive, and we should all hope for a good outcome, but we should be enraged this was allowed to happen in the first place.
My original article about Adriana Smith and medical misogyny looks at the policies of forced birth and what responsibility (if any) the government should have to provide to those it demands be brought into the world.
