The baby of a brain-dead Georgia woman, who was kept on life support for months, was delivered Friday, according to the woman’s family, reigniting debates over the medical consent and end-of-life decisions for pregnant women since the fall of Roe v. Wade.
I am glad that baby was born. Nothing more beautiful than the creation of life.
Does the state, county, or who pays for that? What will happen when there is no help for insurance to pay things like this? I courts should have to pay and now there is a baby and no mother. Such a sad world we live in!😥😪
I'm curious why they extracted the baby at this time. The baby is obviously not to term and will most likely not survive. I'm surmising the Mother's body was becoming a detriment to life of this baby so they finally intervened.
It turns out a dead body isn't actually a viable incubator for a full pregnancy, but they didn't want their little power trip to go wrong. They'd rather have a disabled micropreemie that headlines will forget about quickly than admit that the fetus wouldn't have survived.
Republicans treat women like livestock
Fuckers Ghouls
What is wrong with this newspaper? She "delivered" nothing; she's been deceased for months! What a sick headline!
So much for god’s will.
My heart goes out to this woman and her family... and correction, the baby was extracted from a dead body not delivered. What also concerns me is what affects it has had on the baby. Living/growing in a lifeless body 🥺. No mother's voice, touch, movements, warmth. What a sad sad sad start💔.
Not delivered. The corpse was cut open to retrieve a baby that shouldn’t have been.
How tf did a dead woman deliver a baby?
Buried in the comments is the most relevant info:This is NOT required by state law. The decision was made by chicken-shit hospital administrators... the same who denied care to dying COVID patients.
I want to thank especially the ladies at WaPo who have lied about and downplayed Trump since the start. You all had a hand in this. Clap, damn you, clap.
☹️
That was an autopsy.
That baby was not 'delivered'. He was extracted in a post mortem dissection.
Jesus fucking christ
It was NOT delivered. The woman, the mother, someone’s child was dead and they cut it out of her.
Orphaned child c-sectioned from a corpse, that was used as an incubator without the consent of surviving family.
Women have no rights
Republicans wants nothing to do with that baby now.
She did not labor. Her body was rotting. She was already gone, who knows what ramifications this will have. That baby shouldn’t have to go through this. The baby was meant to go with their mom
This is Trump cult Christianity with a giant American medical debt bill at the bottom of it.
“Delivering baby” Thats some sloppy ass reporting.
abortion issues should be decided by us we the ppl, by us, we the voters--its not perfect, but its the best. now, more lives r being saved. cbn.com/news/us/3200...
Just in time to receive a crappy education, poor to no healthcare, gun violence at school, polluted environment, etc. What a triumph.
We should just abort ever baby in Africa cause their lives will be bad or something
Lol, of course you pick Africa. 🤡
Because Somalia and the Congo have some of the worst standards of living on the planet
The woman’s body was decaying. The ghouls had to remove it.
In this case the doctors did the right thing to give the baby a chance to life! The mother would want that! I bet the mother would want that!!
That baby does not have fully developed lungs and will have a lifetime of issues with lungs and seeing, among other things. Will you adopt a child with special needs?
Who gets the hospital bill? 😬
There was a report on this a few weeks ago. I believe the family foots the bill. I'm so tired of this shit.
Look up filial laws - most states have them.
This situation, in my opinion, was sinful to this family.🙏🏻
Georgia proving once again that women are nothing more than baby pez dispensers to be discarded once they are empty
Born of a zombie? Disgusting attitude the religious right has.
Ghoulish
No one, except nbc u, is more eager to exchange fascism for regulatory favors than deff bozo the clown
There is no god
Women are just incubators to the Christian nationalists. Now thanks to them there’s a new child out there with no mother that they can spit on or put in prison if they see it out on the street. Just like Jesus intended.
That baby was not delivered. Adriana did not participate. That baby was harvested from a corpse. Adriana was an incubator. Disgusting. Those who forced this in her should be ashamed.
Nobody forced her to get pregnant, she chose to get pregnant and the baby was delivered in order to save its life.
No, they fucking forced án effectively dead woman to incubate a non-viable fetus to viability. They fucking lied to her family. They forced that family to endure this absolute horror ON TOP OF THE FACT THE BABY MAY STILL DIE because it's so premature. Gtfoh
They saved the babies life, you can't force dead people to do things, they're dead.
Bullshit
No.
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
She did not deliver.
To force a birth is imaginable.whats next?
The baby wasn’t “delivered” - the baby was “harvested” from a dead body! Against the families wishes, against the doctor’s advice, against EVERYTHING that is decent, human, empathetic, kind and feeling in this WHOLE ENTIRE F’INWORLD!!!!! Ughhhhhhhhh!!!! I JUST CANNOT DEAL!!!! 🤬
Dead people don’t “deliver” They harvested a baby from a corpse
*Harvested the baby from a 4 month old corpse
Did the anti choice movement write this tweet?
“Born” at 1lb 13oz now in NICU. Will definitely have neurological deficits if it even survives. The cruelty is the point with republicans.
The baby was harvested not born!
Women in America have no rights. 💔
NOT delivered- cut out from a dead woman. Family forced to pay $$$$ for grotesque surgery AND to keep mother's body animated. This is ghoulish, even Frankenstein would be revolted. Vote better Georgia, write better WaPo Best wishes for the poor kid and his family.
One of the most disgusting acts of government I've seen. "The baby, a boy, weighed 1 pound 13 ounces" Fuck you, Georgia.
And baby has hydrocephalus, and is blind.
But don’t worry, the family will go 100% irrevocably broke paying for all this shit the state made them do.
As if the family didn’t have enough grief already
Right? This whole situation is a giant neon sign saying "women aren't humans." Nothing but misery comes from that. That poor woman and her family. Bless them.
Men hate us.
It’s a horror.
I’d say Jordan Peele needs to make a movie out of it, but let’s not give evil any more ideas.
The Handmaid’s Tale already had this episode.

A racist woman who bullies a 5yo with autism raises nearly $1 million and this family can’t even make their target of $275k? What have we become?
Right? I’m going to keep sharing it.
... baby was harvested
So sad
Horrific and immoral , how are they going to justify this to the infant if he survives. How are they going to tell him he was born to a brain dead mother?
And the "pro-life" people who forced this birth against the wish of the family without any concern for the dying mother or the family no longer care about the baby. They stop caring as soon as the baby is born. They're pro-birth, not pro-life.
All of this is just so cringe worthy. I don't recognize this country anymore.
Gilead-style healthcare for women.
So now what? Just turn her off?
This story makes me ill.
Absolutely SICKENING. This is abuse of a corpse. The baby is not even two pounds and will undoubtedly face developmental challenges. Adriana Smith deserved so much better.
The baby wasn't delivered, it was grown in a human incubator slave, then cut out where it was barely viable. Blame all you fucks who didn't vote for Hillary. And you Pink PussyHat Posse who still voted for Trump. Black women continue to be used as medical experiment slaves in 2025.
What if the mother wanted the baby to live before she was "brain-dead"?
Harvested. Not delivered. Harvested.
Women have no rights anymore
Land of the free? What freedom? Please tell me how this is a free nation if they can just let people deny your right to die so they can use what amounts to little more than a warm corpse as an incubator. Though lets be honest, they just wanted to torture a black family because this is america
And all this for a child that likely won't even survive such a macabre entry into this cess pit we call a world. Now that they performed their autopsy they couldn't give two shits if the kid dies. Even as an atheist this whole ordeal feels so deeply unholy that it makes my skin crawl.
A micro-preemie, whose medical bills are now replacing his mother’s. The family is still being dragged through this hellscape.
Yep, the cruelty is the point
News article titles ripped from former dystopian novels for $200, Alex.
*formerly*
Also, if this is the same story that I recall from earlier, though I don’t think it’s been four months since that one was a real meeting. There’s another one. The family has to pay all the medical bills to keep her on support And still pay for delivery
They cut it from her dead body. She didn’t deliver. She was DEAD.
When my wife was pregnant, she told me that if I had to choose between her life and the life of our baby, I should choose our baby's life. In the absence of an advance directive, I think this is the safest position to take - but frankly both options sound frightening and dystopic.
Either terminate a healthy soon-to-be-baby *potentially against the mother's wishes* or use the mother's braindead body as an incubator. Both sound horrible. This should have never been about "abortion is illegal so we must use the mother's body like this". Both options should have been possible.
AFTER they cut open her abdomen and pulled out the 2 lb underdeveloped fetus from her lifeless corpse.
I support unlimited free access to abortion for the black community
A one-pound fetus was harvested from a rotting corpse, you mean?
Brain dead doesn't mean you're rotting.
Yeah, it does. Brain death, is the irreversible cessation of all brain function, rendering the body unable to sustain life independently. While the heart may continue to beat with the AID OF MACHINES, the body's ability to breathe, think, or feel is permanently lost.
Without artificial support, the body will eventually cease all activity.
Not 'delivered.' Cut out of a comatose woman😤🤬
NOT "DELIVERED" YOU GARBAGE RAG. REMOVED FROM HER CORPSE
And the federal government was there to support the infant, and one second after the delivery, the federal government was no longer supporting this infant.
Nazi ass publication
The baby was extracted. Not delivered. Monsters.
So so sad
So women are simply vessels for growing fetuses. Noted. 🤷🏻♂️
The fetus was alive and the woman was dead. What's the point in letting the fetus die?
Because it has more rights than the already a human mother. It’s a fetus, not an “unborn child”! If she was an AR-15 (one of which I own) she would have more rights
She has a name. Why is no news outlet using her name in their headlines or social posts?! My god, she was a person, not a science experiment!
She didn’t deliver anything. She was dead. They cut the baby from her lifeless body.
She stopped being a person when the State turned her into an incubator.
She stopped being a person at the moment she got impregnated, according to the law
👏👏👏
United States gives more dignity to pets than pregnant women.
Doesn't every little girl grow up with hopes of being an incubator?
Actually in most states when a mother is killed by a criminal and her fetus dies, there are additional murder charges. Since the brain dead woman cannot give consent, the fetus was treated as the person they are.
The law is shameful. May she rest in peace.
There’s a debate?!?
Fix your headline. She didn’t deliver her baby. Doctors delivered it surgically.
Stole it surgically.
This is incredibly heartbreaking!
Religion sucks
Who paid and will be paying for it?
Yeah, they were VERY quick to pull the plug of the woman when the baby was extracted. It was NEVER about the woman's life.
Abuse of a corpse. You gonna be the village for that baby now? Nah, didn't think so, you sick trash.
Sick
Dead women don't "deliver" babies.
My most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of these victims. The tragic result of an insane, radial, callous, inhumane regime in the USA in 2025. Georgia gov't you should be ashamed of yourselves. Think hard about what you have done when you go to church on Sunday. Pray on it.
