Kat Cammack recounts emergency room ordeal but claims ‘fearmongering’ by Democrats and pro-choice activists sowing confusion among medical professionals

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.

Cammack was only five weeks pregnant at the time, the embryo had no heartbeat and her own safety was in jeopardy, but nevertheless the congresswoman found herself forced to pull up the letter of the law on her phone to argue the case and even put in a call to Governor Ron DeSantis, without being able to reach him, before staff relented and came to her aid.

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.

      Well that doesn’t make any sense! Why would she do that if all abortions are caused by women getting knocked up and then randomly deciding they don’t actually want their baby, like the anti-choice narrative claims?

      It’s almost as if abortions are actually done for good reasons and the anti-choice people are hateful fucking liars. Weird.

      Slow your roll, she may be a hypocritical piece of shit, but there’s no sense in jumping out of the frying pan and into eugenics.
