Graham held a news conference proposing an abortion bill that would prohibit the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy with rare exceptions.
Davis was told that if she brought the pregnancy to full term and gave birth, the baby would likely survive for a very short amount of time — anywhere from several minutes to a week. The physicians located in Davis’ hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, advised her to get an abortion, but said they could not perform the procedure.
Their concerns were echoed in numerous other states that, like Louisiana, passed so-called trigger laws when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion. Roughly a dozen states currently ban abortions at all stages of pregnancy, with some allowing for narrow exceptions such as in cases of rape, incest or when the pregnant woman’s life is in danger. In New Orleans, the city council passed a resolution directing police and prosecutors not to use city funds to enforce the ban and to make it "the lowest priority for enforcement."

This is very unfortunate.
Inhumane treatment of vulnerable women.
