What happens when a state decides that your body is more useful dead than it was alive?
This episode of In Sync with Alexi takes you inside the harrowing real story of Adriana Smith — a 30-year-old Black woman in Georgia who was declared brain-dead in February 2025 while nine weeks pregnant. Instead of allowing her to rest, the state’s abortion ban and fetal personhood law have kept her on life support for months, with plans to forcibly deliver the fetus around 32 weeks.
Alexi breaks down:
- The timeline of what happened
- What Georgia’s six-week abortion ban actually says
- How fetal personhood laws are quietly reshaping reproductive rights
- The emotional, legal, and financial harm being inflicted on Adriana’s family
- Why this case matters — for all of us
This isn’t an outlier. It’s a warning.
