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.'"

    They are real people who also want to live comfortably and be loved by their friends and family. They’ve just been brainwashed and haven’t thought things through enough to brake free from it. So, they believe pretty much anything their cult tells them. It’s horrible and it is stupid, but even smart people believe stupid things some times (even if it’s less frequent).

    So fuck them. They’re completely useless to a successful society. They can completely be left behind while the rest of us move on without them. No one needs anyone who cannot complete a basic complex thought. If you’re too stupid to fucking breathe why should I care about you contributing anything to society?
