It is the role of good government to protect innocent lives. Of course, this is an emotionally charged issue but the facts are, that one life is dead while the other life is still alive.

People are advocating that it would be ethically correct to allow the child to die for the grieving family to bury their daughter.

As tragic of a situation and a position I'd never want to be in, I hope someone would be trying to save my grandchild's life in the womb.

Sure the risks involve potential disabilities but those are not guaranteed and many children have been born healthy from situations where they had recommended abortion.

It's not the government's role to protect the innocent; it's the people's responsibility. The government's role is to reflect the will of the people. If the people of Georgia want this law, then that's their choice; if they decide they don't want it and vote out the ones who made it, then that's the way the system works.

Brain dead is not really dead. So from the title, the life of the (apparently helpless) woman is being preserved to maintain the life of her unborn child? Seems like common sense to me.

When is a person dead then?

The law bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, typically around 6 weeks into pregnancy. But allowing the brain dead mother to die (as opposed to being kept alive artificially) if that was the wish of the family is not and should not in any way be classified as an abortion. However, the family says doctors told them they are/were not legally allowed to consider other options.
