"(CNN)- Deborah Dorbert of Florida says she is still traumatized after being forced to carry out a doomed, high-risk pregnancy. She blames the state’s abortion ban for not allowing her to terminate the pregnancy.
Last fall, Deborah and Lee Dorbert were excited to be giving their son, Kaiden, a sibling. However, during an ultrasound when Deborah was 24-weeks pregnant, doctors had terrible news. The baby had a rare condition called Potter Syndrome and had no kidneys and little to no amniotic fluid. The doctor said the baby was sure to be stillborn or quickly die, and Deborah was at an increased risk of a potentially deadly pregnancy complication.
In many states, doctors offer to terminate such doomed pregnancies, but their doctor said that wasn’t possible in Florida because of a law passed last year that bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. The law has an exception in cases of a “fatal fetal abnormality” that “is incompatible with life outside the womb.”
The Dorberts had two choices: leave Florida for a termination elsewhere or take the pregnancy to full term. Even though it’s legal to leave Florida to get an abortion, the Dorberts said they were scared they’d get arrested. So Deborah stayed pregnant."
