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.

    “Since her death, Fails has sought legal action to hold the hospitals accountable.”

    Wrong target. You go after the politicians who passed the law that killed your daughter.

      If you close down all the hospitals with lawsuits, the politicians will be held accountable. One would hope, at least.
