Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old woman from Georgia, was declared brain-dead in February while nine weeks pregnant and is currently being kept on life support.

A 30-year-old pregnant woman in the southeastern US state of Georgia has been kept on life support for three months – despite being declared brain-dead – due to the state's abortion restrictions, the woman's mother says. April Newkirk said the decision to keep her daughter Adriana Smith alive was made without input from her family.
