A Good Friday funeral in Texas. Baby Halo's parents had few choices in post-Roe Texas

Her name was Halo, and she was born last week, on March 29, two months early and weighing 3 pounds. She lived for four hours, dying in the arms of her father, Luis Villasana.

Her mother, Samantha Casiano, knew their baby wouldn't survive long because she had anencephaly – part of Halo's brain and skull never developed.

Now, they can't afford to give their newborn daughter the funeral they would like to give her.

'Crushed' at 20 weeks

Casiano got the diagnosis three days after Christmas, at a prenatal appointment when she was 20 weeks pregnant. "I was told that she's incompatible with life," she says. "I was crushed."

She asked her OB-GYN what her options were. Casiano says her doctor told her, "Well, because of the new law, you don't have any options. You have to go on with your pregnancy."

Texas has among the strictest abortion laws in the country, with three overlapping bans. One abortion ban predated , another was when was overturned and comes with, which allows people to bring civil charges for "aiding or abetting" an abortion in the state.
