Louisiana woman carrying skull-less fetus forced to travel to New York for an abortion

Nancy Davis suffered unspeakable pain' due to the poorly worded law that meant a hospital in her home state refused to terminate the pregnancy

An expectant Louisiana woman who was carrying a skull-less fetus that would die within a short time from birth ultimately traveled about 1,400 miles to New York City to terminate her pregnancy after her local hospital denied her an abortion amid uncertainty over the procedure's legality.

Nancy Davis, 36, told the Guardian that she had her pregnancy terminated on 1 September after traveling from her home town of Baton Rouge to a clinic in Manhattan whose staff had agreed to complete the procedure.
