Baton Rouge’s CBS affiliate reports:
A Baton Rouge mother has a week to make an unthinkable decision – carry her baby to term even though she says doctors tell her it will not survive or find another state where she can have an abortion. “It’s hard knowing that I’m carrying it to bury it,” said Nancy Davis, who is 13 weeks pregnant with her second child.
Davis says her baby was diagnosed with acrania, a rare and fatal condition where the baby’s skull fails to form in the womb.
According to health experts, babies with this condition only survive minutes to hours after birth. But because Davis’s life was not in danger and the baby’s condition does not fall under Louisiana Department of Health’s list of qualifying conditions, she was denied an abortion.
Read the full article. Davis says she now has to decide whether to cross state lines to get an abortion or give birth to a doomed baby.
Louisiana’s anti-abortion law means this woman could be forced to give birth to a baby without a skull or a chance to live. Get ready. This sort of thing is going to happen a lot. https://t.co/93AvD4nTAU
