Davis says the fetus was diagnosed with acrania, a rare, lethal fetal abnormality in which the fetus does not have a skull. She said her doctors told her the fetus would die shortly after birth.

She will hardly be the last because the medical team feared repercussions if they provided Miss Davis with an abortion.
