🎄 Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas: Adriana Smith  

In Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas, I cover the tragic case of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse, mother, and daughter from Georgia.


Adriana sought medical care for severe headaches while nine weeks pregnant. Days later, she was declared brain dead. Instead of being allowed dignity in death, her body was kept on life support for months…  against her family’s wishes,  due to legal confusion surrounding Georgia’s abortion and fetal personhood laws.


Her son, Chance, was born prematurely at just 1 lb 13 oz and remains in the NICU, facing serious medical challenges while growing up without his mother.


This case raises urgent questions about bodily autonomy, medical neglect, and the continued failure of systems meant to protect Black women and their families.


Because Adriana Smith deserved better.

And this should never have happened.
