Mother Forced to Keep Pregnant Daughter Alive After She's Declared Brain Dead Due to Abortion Ban: 'It's Torture'

8. She was only around 9 weeks along?

I hate to say this, because it sounds really cold and indifferent, but that can't be good for a developing fetus. There's a lack of hormonal stimulation, not to mention no active immune system transfer from the mother to the fetus.

This is just a risk mitigation - a sympathy ploy - "Okay, we might have made a tragic but understandable mistake with the mom, but we are still providing the best medical care we can to the bay-bee! Don't sue us for the Mom. We're keeping Baby alive so it can be born, just like Mom wanted!"
Afterwards, they'll probably let it pass in NICU if there's any obvious fatal birth defects, or pass the risk and cost of subsequent long term trauma damage from this to Ms. Smith's survivors.
