Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack was widely criticized after opening up to reporter Tara Palmeri about having trouble accessing abortion for an ectopic pregnancy in Florida after she helped pass a six-week abortion ban in the state.

Cammack told the Wall Street Journal that she faced delays in receiving treatment for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy shortly after Florida’s six-week abortion ban took effect in May 2025.


Cammack blamed those delays not on the law itself but on what she described as misleading messaging from abortion-rights advocates that had made healthcare workers fearful of legal repercussions, telling the Journal:

“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst. There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.'"

      Maybe but it’s rude to throw that in people’s faces, I’m not saying I’m a genius or anything either btw, (edit) I understand people want to be nice but I’m tired of people crying about stuff like this, I’m seeing people in this vary page wish death upon this person here in the picture, getting mad likes but me saying maybe we shouldn’t let them vote and suddenly everyone’s throwing a hissy fit, it’s hypocrisy, they act like I’m adalf trying to start the forth reich when I suggest maybe they should focus on themselves and not on governmental decisions that effect everyone. They’re still being represented so I fail to see the issue and people are providing 0 counter arguments asside from the one person above who was just straight up just being factually wrong and attacking my character.

          Im fine, im not trying to get a rise out of people, if hypocrisy, disingenuous behavior, and playground insults actually hurt my feelings past making me think less of people’s general supposed honesty and integrity, id not talk to anyone online ever.
