Her unborn baby was diagnosed with acrania, a rare and fatal condition where the baby’s skull fails to form in the womb.
BATON ROUGE, La. - A Louisiana mother has a week to make an unthinkable decision about whether she should carry her baby to term, even though she says doctors tell her it will not survive.
Davis says her baby was diagnosed with acrania, a rare and fatal condition where the baby’s skull fails to form in the womb. According to health experts, babies with this condition only survive minutes to hours after birth.But because her life was not in danger and the baby’s condition does not fall under Louisiana Department of Health’s list of qualifying conditions, Davis was denied an abortion.
“Florida is the closest, so ideally Florida. But then the next closest place would be North Carolina or something,” Davis said.
