“A brain-dead woman’s baby has been delivered by caesarean section, the woman’s mother says, after the hospital said her body had to be kept on life support due to abortion law in the US state of Georgia. Adriana Smith’s baby, named Chance, was born prematurely on Friday, Ms Smith’s mother told local TV station 11 Alive. The boy, who weighs 1lb 13oz (08kg), is being kept in the neonatal intensive care unit, said Ms Smith’s mother, April Newkirk. ‘He’s expected to be OK,’ she told the outlet, an affiliate of NBC News. ‘He’s just fighting. We just want prayers for him.’ Ms Newkirk said her daughter, a 31-year-old nurse, would be taken off life support on Tuesday. ‘It’s hard to process,’ she said. ‘I’m her mother. I shouldn’t be burying my daughter. My daughter should be burying me.'” (06/17/25)
