A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

@[email protected] @[email protected] 100% this. Life saving care was withheld, those involved should face prosecution at a federal level.

Just a reminder, because I dont think the article really gets it across, this is an incredibly excrutiatingly painful way to die and it clearly wasnt a quick death. So I think calling it both torture and murder is accurate.

They help women with abortions. It's not the solution to the actual problem, of course, but maybe it sheds a little light on the darkness. Donations are of course welcome and, in the long term, necessary.

This is the predictable outcome of sliding politics and religion between medicine and the patient, and works the same in all fields of science.

Texas is going to have increased morbidity and mortality across every avenue of life as politics and religion are inserted between science and society.

As usual, the people who bear the cost, are not the ones making the choices to pervert science

@[email protected] I'm kind of surprised there haven't been medical care providers who disregarded the directive to criminalize lifesaving care and instead saved the pregnant person's life anyway. Hippocratic oath and all that. Human decency and all that.

I mean, 'just following orders' there helps the gladiators on the right to further a bad agenda. It harms.

The Republican megadonors responsible for the laws that ended her life needlessly

Tim Dunn, Farris & Dan Wilks use their fossil fuel industry wealth to end the right to live in a constitional democracy for women

Why? To control women & continue frying the planet. For money.

@[email protected] This outcome is the point and the purpose of the law they made to literally dictate and criminalize women's health.

For their own reasons, conservatives have turned lifesaving healthcare for women into a gladiator sport.

For every woman who dies, I'll bet a hundred more get their tubes tied. Their "more white babies" drive isn't working out as they hoped.

@[email protected] The Great State of Texas, really stinks, being polite here.

@[email protected] The US is sliding backwards on the human development scale.
Sad to watch.

@[email protected] Her family should burn down the system with lawsuits. Hospitals, healthcare providers, and especially politicians. All who bear some responsibility for her death.
