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.

    There needs to be a cultural change.

    Unfortunately, one person or even the minority cannot do this.

    Until more people actually want to solve these problems, these problems won’t get solved. Wow.

    It’s not a turnout issue. US “democracy” is fundamentally broken and favors those already in power. It’s important for those in power that gridlock issues such as abortion and gun control never get solved yet remain the focal point of elections to distract from the ever-growing disparity in wealth.
