  1. >The near-total ban on abortion in Texas meant that the doctors couldn’t do anything to remove the unviable fetus unless Crain’s life was at risk. She would either have to get sick enough for doctors to intervene, or miscarry on her own.

    More senseless blood on the GOP’s hands.

    Edit: she was also failed miserably by the first couple doctors who sent her home with antibiotics and ignored her stomach pain.

  3. I hoped over to the ask conservatives sub reddit. The main talking point to all these women dying….it’s the medical malpractice. Yup, blame the doctors.

  4. This sick and twisted scenario is just a taste of what is to come if Trump and the GOP win in the election tomorrow. Get out there and VOTE like your life depends on it, because for a lot of us it truly does.

  5. She was pro life and they both supported Trump’s actions to ban abortion in America. He tricked his side into believing it would only hurt liberals. Damn.

  6. This could be you. This could be your daughter, your granddaughter, your sister, your niece.

    Vote to keep this from happening to another young woman.

  9. she died because shes a woman. theres no other reason. thats maga policy

  11. Women need to leave Texas for their own safety. If she did she’d still be alive.

  12. This went exactly how the MAGA GOP wants. They are out to punish women. The girl is dead and that sends the message to others. Mission Accomplished in their eyes. Vote these scum out while ballots still work. The next step is not pretty.

  13. This should be the headline on every fucking news outlet

  14. Do something? Vote blue. All you will get from republicans are thoughts and prayers.

  15. From the source article in ProPublica:

    >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 didn’t care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions.

    I am not going to engage in victim-blaming; no human being deserves what happened to this young woman. But what I want to point out is the craven brutality of “exception for the life of the mother” that some anti-abortion people like to spew. Because it’s sounds great in theory, it helps them resolve the moral quandary of wanting to control other people’s bodies without coming across as cruel bastards.

    But think about what “exception for the life of the mother” mean. Imagine we took the same approach for all other medical issues. No treatment for headaches & migraines unless the life of the patient is in danger. Imagine a shark bites off your foot and you’re taken quickly to the hospital and doctors just stand around waiting for you to be near death before intervening. Imagine how much fucking pain people will be needlessly subjected to and how many people will die for no reason at all. Next time you hear that bullshit phrase, realize what the person is saying: I want women to suffer needlessly till they’re at the point of death before we give them routine medical care. That’s barbaric and it’s evil.

  16. Every headline that frames it around the doctors is sanewashing for Republicans.

  18. “After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the ‘shock’ of everyone,” Trump, the former president and front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, [said](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110384051064378318) on his social media platform. [https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-was-able-kill-roe-v-wade-rcna84897](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-was-able-kill-roe-v-wade-rcna84897)

    “What I did is something — for 52 years they’ve been trying to get Roe v. Wade into the states. And through the genius and heart and strength of six Supreme Court justices, we were able to do that,” Trump said during the [Sept. 10 debate](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-harris-and-trump-debate-pbs-news-simulcast-of-abcs-2024-presidential-debate) with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia.

    “The federal government should have nothing to do with this issue. It’s being solved at the state level, and people are very happy about it,” Trump [said in an interview](https://www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-says-hell-accept-election-if-results-are-fair-and-free/) with CBS News. “No regrets, no. I wouldn’t have regrets. I did something most people felt was undoable.” [https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4837459-trump-abortion-roe-v-wade-dobbs-comstock-act/](https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4837459-trump-abortion-roe-v-wade-dobbs-comstock-act/)

    For the love of your friends, wives, sisters, daughters, go vote tomorrow.

  19. Texas: where women die from preventable medical issues.

  20. I genuinely hate “pro-life” activists. They know this is the consequence of their sociopathic, hypocritical and misogynistic movement and they’re fine with it. Women and girls will needlessly die, but that’s the price they’re willing to pay.

  21. 2 women died now because Texas inhuman abortions laws. FK Texas and FK Trump.

  22. Truly awful and completely unnecessary. My only hope as that eventually the people in these states who are bearing the brunt of these consequences finally have a wake up call and realize they are doing the damage to themselves based on how they vote. Voting matters.

  23. Woman looses her baby and her grand baby in 1 day because they made it illegal to save her. 

  24. This is what happened before Roe. A woman suffering a miscarriage and bleeding out would arrive at an emergency room and the doctors would not touch her because it was illegal to assist in an abortion and there was no way to tell the difference between a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and an induced abortion. The doctors weren’t willing to risk their professional license or jail time to help a stranger—even when that it was their job to save people.

  26. Anti-abortion policies kill women. How many more will need to die?

  27. Texas: you don’t have to leave the US to experience 3rd world health care.

  29. Hopefully her parents vote for Kamala by tomorrow so further harm isn’t done to other daughters.

  30. I don’t know why this is considered “news”.

    ***WOMEN TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN***

  31. This is the problem with the “if necessary to save the mother’s life” exceptions for abortions. It’s very rarely 100% clear that a procedure is necessary to save a life until it’s already too late.

  32. A lot of conservatives, including 2 doctors who routinely appear as if summoned by magic in Twitter threads, tell me the Texas law allows an abortion in cases like this.

    Curiously none of those conservative doctors appear to be willing to be the test case for patients in need.

  33. This poor girl suffered so much. She was septic, and then eventually went into DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) and ended up with blood coming out of her nose and mouth as she died. Just so we’re all clear, republicans want this. This girl’s own mother voted for this. I am so sorry for Nevaeh; she was failed by so many people. This was 100% preventable at so many points before it became too late and like something out of medieval times.

  34. And Texas will likely stay red so guess a lot of women there just don’t care.

  35. She – and her mother who was pleading for her to be treated – both supported the anti-abortion law which killed her.

    It’s still a tragedy and she didn’t deserve to die, but one can naturally imply that she and her mother were OK with *someone* dying due to this law.

  37. This is not a bug, it’s a feature! Republicans want to kill women. They are tired of Women’s Right and Women’s Lib. It’s time to put women back in their place. They want you to understand that a women’s life only exits at the whim of a Republican man. And they expect you to stand by and take it. VOTE BLUE!

  38. I had 4 miscarriages, one at 16 weeks. Each baby was wanted. If I did not have a D&C (abortion) I could have died. 

    I’m 65 so this was health care for me at the time.

    My grandmother died of an abortion when she was 35. I never met her.

    This is where we are heading.
