Ms. Davis was denied an abortion even though her fetus has been diagnosed with a fatal condition.A pregnant Louisiana woman says she will be traveling out of state next week to get abortion care after she was denied an abortion for a fetus with a fatal abnormality because it.

Davis says the fetus was diagnosed with acrania, a rare, lethal fetal abnormality in which the fetus does not have a skull. She said her doctors told her the fetus would die shortly after birth. "Ms. Davis was among the first women to be caught in the crosshairs of confusion due to Louisiana's rush to restrict abortion. But, she will hardly be the last, America. She will hardly be the last because the medical team feared repercussions if they provided Miss Davis with an abortion. She had to look out of the state for safe, trustworthy care," her attorney Ben Crump said at the press conference.

He called what Davis has had to endure "inhumane" and said Louisiana has put her and her family through "mental anguish."

I’m so sorry. This should not be happening in America.

Why cant this woman and others that have had medical experts say that abortion would be the best solution to their situation get one in their state? BTW, myself and other conservative, senior age, voting women think this 'law' is tyranny.😠😢

Yep, with Ben Crump, I'm sure this isn't any sort of political stunt.

Get up on dat bus gurl

Each state has their own laws...deal with it

Trial case...up goes the ballon...!!!

Sen. Katrina Jackson should be ashamed of herself. All she cares about is pushing her agenda. She doesn't give a damn about women affected by her sanctimony

A fetus is a human baby. A tough decision for the woman to make but aborting a sick child and burying a sick child is not the same thing.

Is Ben Crump the only lawyer for black people in America? Seems he shows up for everything and anything.

Miracles happen.

What will you not see in America. Too much comfort equals too much non sense.

Yeah, package and go. 🥱

Ok.

NoOneUnscripted My heart goes out to this poor woman, dealing with this circus while heartbroken. Anyone who has lost a child in pregnancy has to feel her pain right now. 💔🥲🙏

If the fetus was not harming her and still alive then an abortion was not necessary. Also, certain medical tech are not 100% accurate, referring to testing the fetus, see medical information to confirm.

Didn’t they say she qualified for the abortion in her state?

That's a beehive. You don't see that everyday. Approximately 125k abortions are performed everyday, worldwide.

I see that ambluance chaser ben crumb find another pay day

Killer
