Republican Lawmaker Blames Left After Near-Death Experience Tied to Florida Abortion Laws
Rep. Kat Cammack, a pro-life Republican, nearly died from an ectopic pregnancy due to Florida’s restrictive six-week abortion ban, which left medical staff fearful of legal repercussions for providing necessary treatment. Despite her life-threatening experience, Cammack blames the ensuing confusion on political “fearmongering,” not the law itself. She advocates for women’s healthcare access in cases of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, highlighting the need for women’s voices in the debate. However, legal experts disagree, citing the state’s ambiguous legislation and aggressive enforcement as contributing factors to the situation.
