Nevaeh Crain, an 18-year-old pregnant woman, died after visiting two Texas emergency rooms three times in 20 hours due to pregnancy complications.

On her third hospital visit, doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm 'fetal demise' before admitting her to intensive care, after which she died.

Crain is one of at least two women in Texas who have died under the state's abortion ban, which includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions.

Medical professionals have expressed concerns that confusion and fear about legal repercussions under the abortion ban are affecting the treatment of pregnant patients with complications.

The Biden administration argues that federal law requires emergency rooms to stabilize patients in medical crises, even if an abortion might be necessary, but Texas has contested this interpretation.
