When does life end—and who gets to decide what happens next? In this powerful episode of Pulse and Politics, host Alana Sanders confronts the heartbreaking and controversial case of Adriana Smith—a 30-year-old Black woman from Georgia, declared brain dead while nine weeks pregnant, yet kept on life support due to the state’s abortion laws.

Alana breaks down the legal loopholes, the moral outrage, and the inhumane treatment Adriana’s family is enduring under Georgia’s “heartbeat law.” This episode challenges what it means to protect life—and who’s really being protected.

If you care about bodily autonomy, reproductive justice, or simply believe that death should come with dignity, this is a must-listen.
