A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

“He’s been clear– he does not support a federal abortion ban,” an ad from the group #lies, despite #Trump's refusal to commit to vetoing a #NationalAbortionBan.

Tenuous claims on Trump’s #abortion positions aside, the group is also using Justice #RuthBaderGinsburg’s name & likeness without permission from her family.

“The #RBG PAC has no connection to the Ginsburg family & is an affront to my late grandmother’s legacy,” #AbortionRights attorney & #RuthBaderGinsburg’s granddaughter Clara Spera said in a statement to the NYT. “The use of her name & image to support Donald #Trump’s re-election campaign, & specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on #abortion, is nothing short of appalling.”

#Trump installed 3 *conservative* justices to #SCOTUS during his time in office, replacing #RuthBaderGinsburg as well as Antonin Scalia & Anthony Kennedy. That swing toward a conservative 6-3 majority led directly to the axing of nationwide #AbortionRights established in #RoeVWade. He has also said he will vote against a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would enshrine #abortion protections in the state constitution.

#Trump’s campaign has sought to toe the line on #abortion policy, aiming to appease his #religious #fundamentalist base while simultaneously duping pro-choice voters, while #KamalaHarris has hit Trump hard on abortion, a key issue for voters.

The group…called #RBG PAC…came into existence only days ago, & began to spend $20M on Fri in support of #Trump, acc/to federal records. The group posted 2 #abortion-themed ads focused on the #TrumpLies that he would oppose a federal #AbortionBan.

The group’s paperwork was signed by #MayMailman, who worked in the WH & who is now the director of the *Independent Women’s* Law Center. She did not respond to a request for comment Fri.

Powerful as hell.

Griffin:

Reproductive rights advocate Hadley Duvall: "I can't imagine not having a choice, but today, that's the reality for many women and girls across the country because of Donald #Trump's #abortion bans. He calls it a beautiful thing. What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her parent's child?"

There are audible gasps from the convention floor. #DNC

“He made #Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a #law providing constitutional #abortion protections after the #SupremeCourt overturned #RoeVWade, & as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring #UniversalBackgroundChecks for #gun purchases.

“But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, & Hope. Doug & I look forward to working w/him & Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.

exemplified in its decision to overturn the constitutional right to #abortion on the basis of a vague & inconsistent standard of “text, history & tradition.”

& there is the hubris of ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts, who, the #legal scholar EricJSegall writes, has “led the court to coerce both state & federal govts to abide by his personal preferences, whether or not positive legal sources supported those decisions & at times even when prior #law …clearly did not justify the chief’s opinions & votes.”
