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.'"

    Can you do anything other then quote other people? What you just posted has nothing to do with that I said.

      It’s everything to do with what you said. And if someone said something in a clear, concise manner, I’m not reinventing the wheel.

        Then explain clearly for the ones in the back then. I think we should filter actually idiot out of decision making and give them social task they can handle as Iv already described.

          People have explained, extensively, with few and more words. Are you being deliberately obtuse? Can you speak without snapping and snarling like a rabid cur at those who try to help you?

          There is only one person itt who is beligerantly and stubbornly arguing this buffoonishly stupid idea without an iota of forethought, let alone deep, serious thought. So I will break it down in small words and after this, I am done, ignorant, hateful fool:

          The same weapon you would turn on “stupid” people will as easily be turned on you. Just like the woman in the article, you seek to harm others, and may very well be harmed with your weaponisation of the voting system. Your stupidity has been loudly and proudly displayed* with every reply you typed here.

            and im telling you it can be turned the other way around as well and work as intended if you hold the people in charge to account, you just don’t want to hear it.

        You may find this uncomfortable to hear, but that’s neither accurate nor helpful.

          Your demonstrated lack of knowledge, history, science has me convinced that if ever a test is reinstituted, you would fail it.
