A Louisiana woman was denied the right to have an abortion despite her doctors having advised her after the tenth week to terminate the pregnancy following a very serious congenital malformation of the fetus, acrania, that is the lack of the skull , which does not would have allowed her to survive that a few days after giving birth.
But the hospital has decided not to proceed for fear of violating the law that prohibits abortion except in the case of life threatening for the woman, which came into force after the sentence of the Supreme Court which effectively abolished federal law to terminate the pregnancy.
Nancy Davis, this is the name of the woman whose lawyers denounced " the cruelty of the state of Louisiana , which placed the woman in a cruel position leaving her with only two choices: carry on the pregnancy until the inevitable death of the fetus or travel to a another state to obtain the interruption he had painfully decided ”.
The person concerned, in the 14th week of gestation, chose the second path.
