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.

It'd be nice if this was all over corporate news instead of just propublica.
But I think we know why it's not.
She was having abdominal pains while pregnant and the doctor diagnosed her with strep throat.
They don't give a shit about women.
I bet the doctor wanted to still bill the insurance company for a visit but couldn't bill it as "woman having a miscarriage, about to die of blood poisoning" so called it strep throat so they still get paid.
A senseless tragedy. If you haven't already, don't forget to vote
'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Hurting women is the whole goal with Republicans' abortion bans. This isn't just a tragedy, this is the intended outcome and what a bit under half the country wants the rest of the country to be like.
The cruelty is the point.
So much for pro life eh
Everything's bigger in Texas, including the numbers of dead women from preventable causes.
So pro life!!
In sane countries cases like this end up with lifting abortion bans.
America is so fucked up.
Republicans are jerking off to stories like this
Charge Republican lawmakers with murder!
A life lost for nothing
The American fucking dream here.
