Powerful story from @kelciemmorris.bsky.social. Alabama subjects doctors who perform abortions to up to 99 years prison, and politicians have created a climate where a person not only has to grieve a child that won't make it to term, but also has to drive 11 hours for a critical medical procedure.
Kelly Shannon carried a fetus with a tumor that took up one-third of its body. It would not survive term. An abortion should have been allowed, even under Alabama's strict ban. But UAB declined to perform it.
