Summary

Eighteen-year-old Nevaeh Crain died from sepsis after Texas’s abortion ban delayed critical medical intervention during her pregnancy complications.

Despite multiple ER visits and severe symptoms, doctors waited to confirm fetal demise before acting due to the state’s restrictive laws. Crain endured intense pain and deteriorating health over multiple hospital visits, ultimately suffering a miscarriage and passing away from internal bleeding.

Medical experts believe timely intervention could have saved her. Her mother, Candace Fails, is pursuing legal accountability but faces significant legal hurdles under Texas’s stringent emergency care standards.

      probably the same as the number of school shootings before there will be any meaningful action

      pro-life is just an ironic name. they’re very pro-death. death penalty, gun violence, poisoned waters, preventable diseases, disproportionate deaths from a pandemic, suicide due to mental health problems, social pressures and ostracization… name a cause for death, they’re in support of it.

      There is no limit. At some point The Onion will make an ironic story about it that gets reposted every time a woman getting killed by anti-abortion policies makes the news.
