When she gives birth, she already knows that her baby will be born dead. And he can't do anything to terminate the pregnancy. It is the story of Deborah Dorbert told by the Washington Post, not the only one and not the exception since the abortion law imposed by the Republican governor Ron DeSantis which prohibits the termination of pregnancy from the 15th week.
Deborah and her husband Lee, who live in Florida, were expecting their second child when they were diagnosed with a condition known as Potter syndrome. The couple consulted various doctors but none said they were willing to terminate the pregnancy for fear of incurring penalties. The two have not even managed to go to another state with fewer restrictions, due to lack of economic availability.
“I'm really angry that politicians decide what's best for my health. We would have done anything to have this baby," she said.
