Adriana Smith was a 30 Year old pregnant, black woman who tried to seek medical care for severe headaches.

She was dismissed and sent home with brain bleeds

She died the next day. She’s suffered brain death, yet her body is being kept alive because she was 9 weeks pregnant.

The rest can (and do) overrule the patient’s wishes.

Pregnancy is dangerous. Women have been stripped of their autonomy in life AND death.
