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] 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.
