Recognizing that Adriana Smith and her family's prolonged ordeal without their consent is the direct result of the Black maternal health crisis, the danger of laws that give rights to fetuses and take them away from pregnant people, and anti-abortion laws that continue to harm people who can become pregnant.

This resolution recognizes the prolonged ordeal of Adriana Smith, a brain-dead pregnant woman kept on life support, as a direct consequence of the Black maternal health crisis , laws granting rights to fetuses, and restrictive anti-abortion legislation. It highlights how such laws, like Georgia's LIFE Act, create legal confusion and fear of prosecution, leading to situations where pregnant individuals' bodies are forcibly treated as incubators. The resolution also condemns the pervasive issue of Black women's pain not being given full consideration in medical settings, contributing to higher maternal mortality rates. The resolution asserts that laws prioritizing fetal rights strip pregnant people of their fundamental right to make healthcare decisions, undermining their autonomy and dignity. It urges states to repeal laws that ban or criminalize abortion and those that limit the enforcement of advance directives for pregnant individuals. Additionally, it calls for clarification of anti-abortion laws to prioritize the health and well-being of pregnant patients and to reaffirm their autonomy and dignity regarding their medical needs.
