In this deeply unsettling episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel confronts the tragic and controversial case of Adriana Smith—a brain-dead woman in Georgia whose body is being kept on life support to carry a pregnancy to term. Despite being legally dead, Georgia’s abortion restrictions prevent her family from making medical decisions, effectively reducing her to an incubator. The hosts examine the ethical, legal, and human rights implications of this case, exploring how far the state’s control over reproductive bodies can go—even beyond death.

WHAT IS THE NON-PROPHETS?
The Non-Prophets is a internet show airing at 06:00pm Central time Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Where we navigate through current events, providing a secular viewpoint that adds depth to the unfolding narrative.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
