A woman in Georgia whose family said she was brain dead but kept on life support due to the state's abortion laws was given a C-section to deliver her baby, according to a local news report.

“Removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy.’” Georgia began enforcing the LIFE Act in 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Family and community members gather on Adriana Smith’s birthday to release balloons, celebrate her life, and to rally against Georgia’s ban on abortion, in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 15, 2025.
