Pregnant Teen Died in Texas After Not Getting Care in Three Different Trips to the ER An 18-year-old pregnant woman in Texas died in October of last year following delays in medical care, which her family and medical experts say may have been influenced by Texas' restrictive abortion laws, according to a new report. Nevaeh Crain was six months pregnant at the moment of her death. She had sought medical assistance multiple times during the two days prior to her death after experiencing severe pain, abdominal cramping, fever, and vomiting. Initially diagnosed with strep throat at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, she was discharged with antibiotics, though her symptoms persisted. Crain went to another hospital the following morning, where she tested positive for sepsis, a serious infection that often requires urgent care. Despite her condition and high fever, which medical experts argue are strong indicators for continuous monitoring, Crain was discharged a second time. When Crain returned to the same hospital later that morning, she was in critical condition, with severely low blood pressure, her lips blue. According to her mother, Candace Fails, Crain was struggling to breathe and couldn't walk without assistance. At this point, medical staff checked for fetal viability via ultrasound twice before taking further action, a delay experts reviewing the case say was medically unwarranted.
This is not about the Texas Law. This is about bad medical care from what we know. No way a hospital/doctor should have discharged a 6 month pregnant woman with sepsis. And the Texas law on abortion has nothing to do with that. Sadly this will be another attempt by those that want to kill the most innocent for convenience to twist reality to push their agenda of killing for convenience.
Q clearly missed the part where her treatment was delayed by doctors investigating the viability of the fetus…. This is going to keep happening until every state passes an amendment like Florida is hopefully going to pass… and free women and doctors to make their own medical decisions the way it used to be ….
The baby had a heartbeat. By law, doctors couldn't stop the sepsis until there was no more heartbeat. It's about the Texas Law.
So this is a year old story and the young lady had already had a miscarriage of the fetus? This seems like or reads like horrible care by several hospitals
No. I did not miss anything. You want to allow the killing of the innocent for convenience. And are willing to use situations that have nothing to do with the law to push that evil agenda.
Based on what we know. They sent her home with sepsis pregnant. This has nothing to do with the law. But I get you don’t care as long as we can kill the most innocent for convenience. We have discussed this issue many times and disagree and view life differently. I pray one day you actually will care for the most innocent!
Your reply is nonsensical. The Crain case is not about her needing an abortion. It is about how Texas' passage of a strict abortion law has caused doctors and facilities to second guess what medical treatments can be legally offered to pregnant women to save the life of the mother. Where is your compassion for this young woman, who clearly suffered greatly before dying? Was she not "innocent" (your word) as a human being and deserving to live?
They sent her home with sepsis because the fetus still had a heartbeat. And by law, the doctors couldn't treat the sepsis as long as the fetus had a heartbeat. The law prevented doctors from saving the woman's life. Why don't you care about the life of the woman? Who was saved by her death?
I agree that the law is absolutely terrible but these doctors and hospitals need to stop being such pussies and actually start treating people when it is needed. Somebody's got to be brave

This is pure conjecture with no factual basis. Stop making stuff up in your head. There is nothing in the law that prevented doctors from treating the mother if her life was in jeopardy.
The law is fine and good. Now your second point about doctors doing their job is spot on. Nothing in the law would confuse a doctor about treating sepsis.
