Remember Adriana Smith, the pregnant mother in Georgia currently on life support, as abortion advocates and the media wrongly rush to blame the state’s pro-life law for her condition?  

Turns out the pro-abortion lobby and media would rather Adriana and her preborn child, Chance, die than fight to keep them alive.

In an article by Media Matters, it claims that we pro-lifers are downplaying the role of Georgia’s pro-life law, the Living Infants and Equality Act  (LIFE Act), as the reason for her “brain death.” They even shared one of our tweets, as well as a tweet from Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins, who said the Georgia law is “SAVING the Life of a dying mother’s child.”  

Let’s talk about this viral story.
 
What’s happening? A pro-life law in Georgia is SAVING the Life of a dying mother’s child.

Media Matters asserted that even if “she is legally dead, doctors at Emory University Hospital have kept her on life support in an effort to sustain [Chance] to at least 32 weeks” and blamed the pro-life law.  

The way they worded that makes it sound like they have no interest in her recovery, even if it takes a miracle. While rare, there are stories of people who have regained consciousness after being considered “brain dead.”  

“But activists and media voices are pressuring her family to pull the plug—ending two lives,” we said on X.  

Adriana Smith, a Georgia mom and nurse, is on life support after a medical emergency at just 9 weeks pregnant.

Now at 21 weeks, her baby boy is still alive—his heart beating strong.

Doctors hope to deliver him safely at 32 weeks. But activists and media voices are pressuring…

Media Matters cited Steve Ralston, who is the director of the maternal fetal medicine division at George Washington University who argued that “the chance of there being a healthy newborn at the end of this is very, very small.”  

The organization also quoted medical experts who have said that they do not “know of any cases in which maintaining life support for a [baby] whose mother was declared brain-dead so early in pregnancy has led to a healthy, successful delivery.”  

This is a good example of how “defeatist abortion mentality” prevents the advancement of medicine, since it proposes we kill anyone in a difficult situation instead of encouraging a culture where medical professionals innovate and push medicine forward. Just because this hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean it’s hopeless; Adriana’s a very one-of-a-kind, rare scenario. 

In other words, to the pro-abortion crowd: we never understood why you’d assume that a preborn baby can’t survive with difficult medical conditions. We’ve had many medical advancements and past outcomes show that with proper care and support, life is still possible.  

And despite the odds, Chance has been showing signs of improvement. 

Media Matters is not the only pro-abortion group that appears to just want Adriana and Chance dead rather than be saved—Reproaction, an organization aimed at increasing “access to abortion,” wrote an article saying that we have hit a “disgusting new low.”  

For what exactly? The organization said that we are “fundraising on the forced treatment of Adriana Smith” for her family to help pay the medical bills of Adriana and Chance. They called it “simply despicable.”  

You know what’s actually despicable? Pretending compassion means cutting care short for a mother and ending the lives of her and her preborn child.  

The Nation also shared commentary by a professor of Constitutional Law and Global Health Policy at Georgetown University Michele Goodwin, who portrays Adriana Smith’s situation as “state-sponsored desecration” and likening Georgia’s pro-life laws to historical injustices, even suggesting they reduce women to “property.”

Let’s not forget that the pro-abortion lobby and media already appear to be lying about Georgia’s abortion law, blaming it for her current state.  

A spokesperson for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said that there’s “nothing in the LIFE Act that requires medical professionals to keep a woman on life support after brain death. Removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy.’” 

Not to mention that there are other laws that could be impacting Adriana and her family, including the Georgia Advance for Health Care Act that was created in 2007, which includes provisions for keeping a pregnant woman on life support until a baby can be born. 

Adriana’s unconscious state isn’t the result of the state’s pro-life law, but it rather appears to stem from medical negligence. 

She was reportedly given medication without any testing or a CT scan, despite arriving at the hospital with severe headaches. This tragedy should serve as a wake-up call for better women’s healthcare—not as another excuse to justify killing innocent preborn babies.
