Adriana Smith , a 30-year-old mother and nurse, was declared brain-dead in February .

She is now 21 weeks pregnant and has been kept on life support for three months .

Removing breathing tubes and other life-saving devices would likely kill the fetus, family says.

Georgia 's strict anti-abortion law includes an exception if an abortion is necessary to maintain the woman's life.

Twelve states are enforcing abortion bans at all stages of pregnancy, with limited exceptions.

Georgia is one of four with a ban that kicks in at or around six weeks into pregnancy.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in December over whether the federal law that requires hospitals to provide abortion in emergency medical situations should apply.
