Adriana Smith deserved to live but also deserves to die with dignity. Instead her body is being used as an incubator and her family has no say in what happens to her or the fetus

Adriana Smith was killed by medical neglect—as a disproportionate amount of Black women are—and because she was 9 weeks pregnant a hospital is now forcing parts of her body to keep functioning until they can extract a baby from her corpse and they’re making her family pay for it.

What those doctors are allowing to happen to Adriana Smith is horrific and they should all have their licenses yanked.

This is the cruelty of abortion bans on full display. This is not “pro-woman,” “pro-life,” or “pro-family,” this is inhumanity.

Adriana Smith is brain dead and her family is being forced to watch her body be kept alive for months - not for her, but to serve Georgia's cruel abortion ban.

Adriana deserves dignity and her family deserves compassion, not state-mandated torment.

Lawyers have a duty to defend our Constitution.

It is an absolute outrage that, in order to curry favor with Trump and continue making their billions, giant law firms like Paul Weiss have abrogated their responsibilities.

Thanks to those defending democracy. We will remember.
More than 500 law firms rally behind embattled peers, declaring that Trump’s crackdown on the legal industry poses “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.” But none of the top 20 firms join. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/b...

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!
