Candace Fails screamed for someone in the Texas hospital to help her pregnant daughter. Do something, she pleaded, on the morning of Oct. 29, 2023.
Nevaeh Crain was crying in pain, too weak to walk, blood staining her thighs. Feverish and vomiting the day of her baby shower, the 18-year-old had gone to two different emergency rooms within 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before.
The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.
Now on Crains third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm fetal demise, a nurse wrote, before moving her to intensive care.
By then, more than two hours after her arrival, Crains blood pressure had plummeted and a nurse had noted that her lips were blue and dusky. Her organs began failing.
Hours later, she was dead.
Fails, who would have seen her daughter turn 20 this Friday, still cannot understand why Crains emergency was not treated like an emergency.
But that is what many pregnant women are now facing in states with strict abortion bans, doctors and lawyers have told ProPublica.
Pregnant women have become essentially untouchables, said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law and policy professor emerita at George Washington University.
Texass abortion ban threatens prison time for interventions that end a fetal heartbeat, whether the pregnancy is wanted or not. It includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions, but still, doctors told ProPublica that confusion and fear about the potential legal repercussions are changing the way their colleagues treat pregnant patients with complications.
In states with abortion bans, such patients are sometimes bounced between hospitals like hot potatoes, with health care providers reluctant to participate in treatment that could attract a prosecutor, doctors told ProPublica. In some cases, medical teams are wasting precious time debating legalities and creating documentation, preparing for the possibility that theyll need to explain their actions to a jury and judge.
Dr. Jodi Abbott, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston University School of Medicine, said patients are left wondering: Am I being sent home because I really am OK? Or am I being sent home because theyre afraid that the solution to whats going on with my pregnancy would be ending the pregnancy, and theyre not allowed to do that?
There is a federal law to prevent emergency room doctors from withholding lifesaving care.
Passed nearly four decades ago, it requires emergency rooms to stabilize patients in medical crises. The Biden administration argues this mandate applies even in cases where an abortion might be necessary.
No state has done more to fight this interpretation than Texas, which has warned doctors that its abortion ban supersedes the administrations guidance on federal law, and that they can face up to 99 years in prison for violating it.
ProPublica condensed more than 800 pages of Crains medical records into a four-page timeline in consultation with two maternal-fetal medicine specialists; reporters reviewed it with nine doctors, including researchers at prestigious universities, OB-GYNs who regularly handle miscarriages, and experts in emergency medicine and maternal health.
Some said the first ER missed warning signs of infection that deserved attention. All said that the doctor at the second hospital should never have sent Crain home when her signs of sepsis hadnt improved. And when she returned for the third time, all said there was no medical reason to make her wait for two ultrasounds before taking aggressive action to save her.
This is how these restrictions kill women, said Dr. Dara Kass, a former regional director at the Department of Health and Human Services and an emergency room physician in New York. It is never just one decision, its never just one doctor, its never just one nurse.
While they were not certain from looking at the records provided that Crains death could have been prevented, they said it may have been possible to save both the teenager and her fetus if she had been admitted earlier for close monitoring and continuous treatment.
There was a chance Crain could have remained pregnant, they said. If she had needed an early delivery, the hospital was well-equipped to care for a baby on the edge of viability. In another scenario, if the infection had gone too far, ending the pregnancy might have been necessary to save Crain.
Doctors involved in Crains care did not respond to several requests for comment. The two hospitals, Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas and Christus Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth, declined to answer detailed lists of questions about her treatment.
Fails and Crain believed abortion was morally wrong. The teen could only support it in the context of rape or life-threatening illness, she used to tell her mother. They didnt care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions.
When they discovered Crain was pregnant with a girl, the two talked endlessly about the little dresses they could buy, what kind of mother she would be. Crain landed on the name Lillian. Fails could not wait to meet her.
But when her daughter got sick, Fails expected that doctors had an obligation to do everything in their power to stave off a potentially deadly emergency, even if that meant losing Lillian. In her view, they were more concerned with checking the fetal heartbeat than attending to Crain.
I know it sounds selfish, and God knows I would rather have both of them, but if I had to choose, Fails said, I would have chosen my daughter.

More in the story, but gamefaqs character limit.

Outside of blatant malpractice/malintent for health/life, doctors should not live in fear of the government.

Ironic the party that doesn't want the government involved in their life wants the government to control the hands of everyone else

These types of people never think of the implications of an abortion ban until they're directly affected. It's horrible that it takes a personal loss for them to realize why keeping abortion rights is so important. I feel for this woman's loss but they helped bring this about.

No they do, they just don't care until it happens to them because that's when it becomes "real" to them. The number 1 commonality between republican voters of all demographics is low empathy (not to be confused with low sympathy).

Ignorance is not an excuse they get to plead anymore.

Some buy into the false perception that people are en masse getting abortion just because they don't want the baby, can't afford the baby, don't care about life, etc.

So they don't stop to consider any of the follow on effects of 'banning abortion' because they don't understand the same medicine given to save botched miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies is the same exact stuff to induce abortions used to 'get rid of unwanted babies'.

So only once they see the real effects affect themselves or those they know, is when they realize exactly what they voted for.

Many vote agaisnt abortion and think nothing about the how, they just know they can't "live with" voting for someone who would allow it. So when a charlatan comes along saying they will ban abortion, they don't question how.

Same for how 'tough on crime' people get elected, most don't ask how those will be tough on crime but then they get in and make laws that give police carte blanche authority and immunity, which has lead to countless heartache and abuses of power.

Bullshit. They absolutely do because doctors and scientists always tell them that these will be the results. ALWAYS. They still vote for it.
They don't listen. The media they consume doesn't tell them about the actual results of banning abortion.

Or even if it does, they still think they'll be implicit with baby murder so they can't live with the thought of being okay with that.

And they live better with the thought of cases like this Texas teen being a tragic accident or God testing their faith because they wouldn't be willing/able accept the fact that their actions directly led to a preventable tragedy

So the life of the fetus is so important to protect that they let the mother die, which in turn also kills the fetus?

Save the mother even at the cost of the fetus she can get pregnant again if she lives. It's not a hard choice.

Yeah the party of "I've got mine, now fuck off and try to get yours" is also the party of "the misery and pain others isn't worth considering". But that also means the consequences for the long term and things affected by extension are never considered.

Even the Bible says to prioritize the life of the mother or at least gives a harsher punishment for killing a pregnant person, but if only the baby is killed then no punishment or whatever the husband deems fit to demand in recompense.

If what I read in another article was correct, the mother and daughter were from a town that was, and possible still is, known as a sundown town. That, combined with the mother's quotes, it is quite likely that they are deeply Christian Republicans.

So it's reasonable to suspect they got exactly what they voted for.

If that's the case, would it more appropriate to say sorry for your loss or congratulations?

This never makes sense. A SCrOTUS determined to overturn Roe would just overturn any federal law to the same effect at the same time. There could have been a long-term plan to get an amendment through, but 38 states is asking a lot, even over 30-40 years of potentially favorable state legislatures.

But even if it was, what did you want them to do? There was no legal way to keep her off the bench. There is no reason to believe a federal law would have survived Dobbs.

Ginsburg should have retired in 2013. That was a mistake. But after that, it was up to the voters. We failed. You can blame that on the system that exists, but we all know what it is, and what it takes to overcome it.

These are the words that make an argument. The non-sequiturs about the republican agenda and nominees lying about Roe being settled mean nothing to the blame you're trying to assign to the Democrats. They're true, sure, but they don't support the assertion "fuck the Democrats".

2) Yes, her. Like it or not, Trump had two legitimate nominations. Sure, it's the first one that should have went down differently. But there's no reason to believe the others wouldn't have happened in the same order, just delayed. The rules in place meant there was nothing legally the Democrats could do to stop McConnell. Trumps nominees were going through, unless they so bad even enough Republicans voted them down. The fix was literally, legally, in.

Amazing how a stupid and worthless baby that isn't even alive is more important than an actual person's life. Seriously, abortion should be no different from smashing a rock with a hammer.
Ok, wtf. That's a horrible thing to say, and considering that they had a baby shower, how about you ease up on calling the baby stupid and worthless?

The issue is that this is a case where something should have been done to protect the mother and possibly the baby, but because of the abortion laws, people were afraid to do things with the baby which resulted in the mother's death.

Honestly tho also fuck the Democrats. We told them for years what Republicans would do and how many people were going to die, and they would rather use it as a campaign piece and trust the most blatantly lying Supreme Court nominees rather than risk any political capital to codify Roe v Wade.
There's literally nothing they could've done to prevent a conservative court from overturning it...

It's more on Democrats' complacency. They are almost rarely ever proactive, merely reactive. And it's this type of softness on democrats that have let them be this mediocre.

Feature, not a bug, etc., etc., etc.

Republicans hate women. It really is that simple.

That was hard to read. I can't imagine what her family is going through.

This goes to show why you can't just write in an exception for the life of the mother and expect that's going to take care of it and these abortion bans aren't going to result in women dying who otherwise could be saved.
