News about Katrina Jackson

Nancy Davis, who was refused an abortion in Louisiana despite her fetus causing a rare condition that means the child will have no skull, spoke to the media on Friday about the legislation affecting her situation. Davis, who is 15 weeks pregnant, said she would go out of state for a "medically necessary" abortion because her baby is expected to be born in Acrania, a fetal abnormality that is fatal, unless the woman's pregnancy is continued. Davis was told that if she brought the pregnancy to full term and gave birth to a boy, it would most likely live for a short period of time, ranging from several minutes to a week.
