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.'"

      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.
