A pregnant Georgia woman who was declared brain-dead is being kept alive by ventilators because of the state’s law banning abortions, the woman’s mother says, telling local news that the family has no say in the matter.

A hospital is using a breathing tube and other measures to keep a brain-dead Georgia woman's body functioning because she is pregnant.

The Georgia woman's family said it's been traumatic to watch her kept on life support to continue the pregnancy, according to a report.
