Kentucky couple ‘furious’ state abortion laws meant they couldn’t hold their daughter to say goodbye

  • Heather and Nick Maberry were unable to hold their baby, Willow Rose, due to strict Kentucky abortion laws that didn't have exceptions for birth defects like anencephaly.
  • The Maberrys sought to terminate the pregnancy after discovering their daughter's condition, but Kentucky Medicaid wouldn't cover the procedure, and they couldn't afford the cost of inducing birth to hold Willow.
  • The family hopes that sharing their experience will lead to revisions in Kentucky's abortion laws and prevent their other children from going through a similar ordeal in the future.
