"Autonomy requires accountability." Yes! The price of freedom is responsibility.

Are you blaming this on Adriana❓️

Explain how "autonomy requires accountability" applies to a woman who was initially wrongfully diagnosed and sent home against she and her fiancé will. Only to return less than 24 with breathing problems.

Not at all. I was quoting the author in reference to further down in her essay, not just responding to the title. Because I actually read entire articles before commenting on them.

No.

The Advance Directive Law does not have anything that states to continue medical treatment on a dead women. Especially since she has now been dead for three weeks.

Do you understand that Adriana is dead❓️

Do you understand that although medical laws are made they still have some level of ethics❓️. This doesn't ‼️

I disagree with your interpretation of The Advanced Directive.

It can and should be argued in a Court of law.

The main reason for this event is to not make this look like any form of abortion.

This is political

That’s exactly what the Advance Directive is designed for. Disagreeing with the law doesn’t make its application unethical.

Are you advocating for the Advance Directive in your initial topic❓️

No Kristin..Stop it please.

You can only bring out so much legislation, but this was not covered in any of it...and you know it.

Georgia made draconian anti-abortion laws and to save face the dead body of Adrian Smith is only being kept on life support so that her remains won't decompose.

Fuck the Advance Directive it does not cover this.

This is an anti-Women, anti-human and above all anti-Christ Act that the state is doing to not give the appearance of an abortion after 6 weeks.

Don't you dare come back with a so-called law for this Frankinstienish event.

There is no law written that dictates to keep a fetus alive for a minimum of three weeks in a dead mother, human or otherwise.

I’m not advocating for anything—I’m stating the legal framework as it exists.

The legal framework does not include this.

And actually you can't prove it.

When newly deceased pregnant women are kept on life support in order to deliver the baby , the pregnancy is at a far more advanced stage...not 8 weeks.

This is Political ‼️

The premise in this article is incorrect and misleading. Georgia law bans abortion at approximately 6 weeks, but the mother's death at 8 weeks makes that null and void‼️

This isn’t a case of abortion—the intentional ending of a pregnancy. Adriana was declared brain dead, and the issue at hand is life support. That’s why the Advance Directive law—not the LIFE Act—is what governs here.

I truly truly hope the fetus does not survive‼️

Why would you hope for that? Adriana wanted this baby—and her family is still hoping for his chance at life.

One other thing

This action is a direct form of Slavery

Preserving a wanted pregnancy under existing end-of-life law isn’t any form of slavery.

STOP IT‼️

Adriana Smith is medically and legally dead.

The heartbeat law continues the pregnancy.

If this goes through every woman who is pregnant will be subjected to this.

Yes I do hope the fetus does not survive.

BTW, this is not Pro-Life...this is Pro-Afterlife...which we have no honest control over.

Lastly

"there is nothing in the Life Act that requires medical professionals to keep a women on life support after brain death. Removing life support is not an action with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy"

No questions—just agreement. The AG’s statement confirms what I wrote: this isn’t an abortion case, and the LIFE Act doesn’t apply. The Advance Directive law does. That’s the legal reality, whether you like the outcome or not.
