Republican lawmaker with ectopic pregnancy nearly died amid new Florida abortion laws - but blames the left

[In It to Win It]

Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that she almost died last year as a result of her state’s six-week abortion ban, which left hospital staff reluctant to treat her ectopic pregnancy for fear of criminal prosecution.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Cammack, 37, reported her experiences in an unnamed Florida hospital’s emergency room on May 31 2024 when it was discovered that there was no way for her baby’s embryo to survive and that her own life was in danger without action.

A doctor discovered the embryo implanted where the fallopian tube meets the uterus, a cornual ectopic pregnancy, and frankly told the representative: “If this ruptures, it’ll kill you.”

But after deciding against surgery, the facility’s doctors and nurses had to be persuaded to give her the shot of methotrexate she required to expel the pregnancy.

1. She's evil

She's also lying. BTDT.

It was absolute fearmongering at its worst,” Cammack told the Journal while acknowledging that reproductive rights activists might draw the opposite conclusion from her story.

“There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion,” she said.

2. She said it was because Dems scared & confused medical personnel. wtaf?

But surprisingly, given her ordeal, the representative does not feel the law itself is at fault and instead blames Democrats for scaring medical professionals into confusion over their responsibilities.

3. I'm sorry she survived. Other women in that situation haven't

4. By the Right-to-Lifers' own definition, it was an abortion.

5. She hadn't even hit the six-week limit imposed by the law. If she'd been a few days later...
