Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:42 GMT

(CNN) — A Florida woman, unable to get an abortion in her state, carried to term a baby who had no kidneys.Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after he was born, just as her doctors had predicted he would.“He gasped for air a couple of times when I held him,” said Dorbert, 33. “I watched my child take his first breath, and I held him as he took his last one.”She said her pregnancy was proceeding normally until November, when, at 24 weeks, an ultrasound showed that the fetus did not have kidneys and that she had hardly any amniotic fluid. Not only was the baby sure to die, her doctors told her, but the pregnancy put her at especially high risk of preeclampsia, a potentially deadly complication.Her doctors told her it was too late to terminate the pregnancy in Florida, which bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. The only options were to go out of state to get an abortion or to carry the baby to full term, and Dorbert ...

7Weather – It’s been another day with some showers rotating around New England. High temperatures stayed in the 50s for a lot of us. If that felt cool, wait for tomorrow! Temperatures will likely be stuck in the 40s. We’ll keep the drizzle and clouds around the next couple of days. More sun and milder temperatures return this weekend (yay!).The upper level low that’s been rotating showers around our region will be east and offshore tomorrow. We’ll be on the backside of it, and that will bring us a northeast wind. Expect a raw day! Sunrise is at 5:36 a.m. tomorrow morning. Starting your morning, it will feel cool in the low/mid 40s with a lot of clouds and patchy drizzle. The northeast breeze and an overcast sky will keep high temperatures chilly. The best we will do are the upper 40s/near 50°. If that seems awfully chilly for May, you’re right! Upper 40s for highs are more reminiscent of late March. Our forecast for Boston is a near-record cold hi...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:42 GMT

Now they have bolstered the position with the addition of Ya-Sin, a second-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2019 who spent last season with the Raiders a...
