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.
She’s a little fat to be having a child anyway, obesity causes a lot of pregnancy complications.
uhm
They aren’t actually wrong.
yeah but it’s way besides the point, no?
People should consider the health of the baby before becoming pregnant. Obesity is very hard on childbirth, for the mother and the fetus. Becoming pregnant while obese is irresponsible and selfish.
I think her literally losing the baby while being pregnant and obese is a pretty good argument for allowing abortion. But hey, I’m not a fascist, so I don’t know much about Florida.
