‘I’m Carrying This Baby Just to Bury It’: The Struggle to Decode Abortion Laws
Louisiana doctors fearful of running afoul of new abortion bans in post-Roe America gave a pregnant woman a devastating diagnosis, but not an abortion.

Nancy Davis says that when she learned this month that the fetus she was carrying had a rare and fatal condition, she was devastated and felt that she needed to have an abortion in her home state of Louisiana.

Yet what ensued in the days after she made that wrenching decision shows how the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling overturning the constitutional right to abortion has sown confusion and turmoil among doctors, families and officials across the country over when women can be granted exemptions to new state abortion bans.

Ms. Davis says that her doctor initially told her to prepare for the possibility of a stillbirth, or for the baby to survive only a short time after birth. After she learned that the abortion clinic in Baton Rouge had shut down, she returned to her hospital only to find out, she said, that she could not get the procedure there because doctors worried it might violate Louisiana’s abortion bans.

Ms. Davis said the hospital diagnosed her fetus with acrania, a fatal condition in which the fetus does not form a skull. “I’m carrying this baby just to bury it,” Ms. Davis said.
