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.
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.
What do you not understand about Advanced Directives? The article is simply stating facts. While I think it is an awful situation all around I think it’s also psychotic to wish that the fetus dies??!! It’s already passed 22 weeks at this point.
My biggest concern is that despite the situation, and how others feel about it is experimental and I would not be surprised if the data collected is used to promote surrogacy using beating heart cadavers as that has been something some scientists, doctors etc are in favor of. Now that would be slavery.
It is important for women to know the laws in their states but also to understand what an advance directive is in general regardless of state and not only in terms of pregnancy but when it also comes to so many other issues that could arise if things go wrong medically. It’s important to know how to advocate for yourself ahead of time if you end up brain dead, coding or in a medically induced coma. I personally do not want my ribs cracked open in certain cases should things go downhill medically but that is just me.
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.
"Autonomy requires accountability." Yes! The price of freedom is responsibility.

That’s exactly what the Advance Directive is designed for. Disagreeing with the law doesn’t make its application unethical.
I’m not advocating for anything—I’m stating the legal framework as it exists.

Why would you hope for that? Adriana wanted this baby—and her family is still hoping for his chance at life.
Preserving a wanted pregnancy under existing end-of-life law isn’t any form of slavery.
