Tennessee woman denied abortion after fetus’ ‘brain not attached’ slams ban

Summary

68% Informative

Breanna Cecil , 34 , was told in January 2023 that her fetus was diagnosed with acrania , a fatal condition where the fetus has no skull bones.

The only advice doctors could give offer was that if she had her second child it would “most likely die inside of me before 20 weeks ” and she would be forced to deliver a stillborn.

The law makes no exceptions for fatal conditions and criminalizes physicians who perform the procedure outside of the allowed exceptions.

Since her third procedure, she and her husband have not been able to become pregnant.

Ms Cecil contemplated joining a group of women, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights , who were denied abortions and are now fighting the state’s prohibition.

She decided not to become a plaintiff in the case because she feared others’ opinions of her decisions.

After hearing the oral arguments, Ms Cecil now wants to join the case.

The three -judge panel has yet to rule on the temporary injunction in Tennessee .
