Neveah Crain, an 18 year old in Texas died of Sepsis on the day of her baby shower after several visits to the emergency room.
Pro-choice advocates have championed her death as another tally on “Trump’s abortion bans” using her untimely passing as a political chess piece to attack the right.
Crain was diagnosed with Strep throat during her first emergency room visit. This is the first medical mis-step by doctors. When she returned, she was screened positive for sepsis. It appears her baby had died but doctors allegedly falsely determined that the fetus still had a heart beat and sent her home. This was the second mis-step.
Texas’ abortion ban is centered around the heart beat. If a fetus has a heartbeat, it cannot be aborted. If it does not have one, then it is fair game. However, if a physician “believes” that a medical emergency - even if that medical emergency won’t kill the mother, an abortion is legal in all circumstances.
Doctors should have, according to the law, performed the abortion when Crain was diagnosed with life threatening sepsis regardless of whether the fetus had a heart beat.
During the third visit, Crain was put in intensive care and her organs began to fail. It seems according to reports, fetal fatality had been confirmed, and Crain herself also died.
Time and time again, incompetent doctors unfamiliar with the law that guides their practice kill young pregnant women by refusing to give them care because they haven’t read their states abortion bill. Every single state in America makes an exception in their legislation related to abortion for medical emergencies.
Doctors must consult the law on a daily basis when doing their job. What types of medicine can they prescribe for what illnesses? How much can they prescribe? When can they prescribe it? What must they wear when they perform surgery? When can they perform surgery? What tools can they use? All of these acts are regulated, and a doctor violating the law can result in jail time over mal-practice.
Now, Democrat influencers seeking to score another point against Trump take to social media, fear mongering physicians, telling them that they’ll go to jail if they perform life saving procedures. This is not the case in any U.S. state.
Neveah Crain is dead because incompetent doctors refused to treat her in compliance with the law.
