#Texas Bill Would Make Identifying as #Transgender a #Felony Punishable by #Jail

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.
