Texas Teen Dies After Delayed Care Under Abortion Ban

Nevaeh Crain's death highlights the dangerous impact of restrictive abortion laws on emergency medical care in Texas.

Nevaeh Crain, an 18-year-old from Texas, died after three emergency room visits failed to provide adequate care due to abortion law restrictions.
Crain was initially misdiagnosed with strep throat and later tested positive for sepsis, but was discharged twice because her fetus still had a heartbeat.
Texas's stringent abortion laws have created fear among medical professionals, leading to delays in treatment for pregnant women with complications.
The state's Attorney General has challenged federal guidelines that mandate emergency care, arguing that Texas's abortion laws take precedence.
Legal and medical experts warn that these restrictive laws are causing preventable deaths by discouraging timely medical intervention.
