This is Dementia Don protecting the women: Nevaeh Crain was feverish and vomiting the day of her baby shower, and the 18-year-old sought treatment at two different emergency rooms within 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before.

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat and despite being 6-months pregnant, ignored her abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection but doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and she should go home.

At a third hospital, an obstetrician wouldn't treat her without first doing two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise,” a nurse wrote, finally moving her to intensive care.

By then, more than two hours after her arrival, Crain’s 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 Crain’s emergency was not treated like an emergency.

Why? Well, Texas. And Trump.

This would not seem to be the “beautiful thing to watch” that Trump keeps talking about.

And now he has RFK Jr ready to recommend a federal abortion ban which Trump will most certainly sign. And he will deliver women back to the 1890s when they were chattel and tariffs were beautiful, like abortion bans.
