Republican representative’s ectopic pregnancy clashes with Florida abortion law

Kat Cammack blames left’s fearmongering after medical staff hesitated to give her drugs needed to end pregnancy

A Florida Republican congresswoman is blaming fearmongering on the left for the reluctance of hospital staff to give her the drugs she needed to end an ectopic pregnancy that threatened her life.

Kat Cammack went to the emergency room in May 2024 where it was estimated she was five weeks into an ectopic pregnancy, there was no heartbeat and her life was at risk. Doctors determined she needed a shot of methotrexate to help expel her pregnancy but since Florida’s six-week abortion ban had just taken effect medical staff were worried about losing their licenses or going to jail if they did.

…

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

...in certain states.

She actually called up Desantis's office from the ER!!! She tried to get a staffer to tell the doctors that ending an ectopic pregnancy doesn't trigger the law, although Fla's law doesn't explicitly say that.

She must know that it is her party that writes the draconian laws, want to monitor women's pregnancies, charge women for having a miscarriage, monitor women going to other states and countries for abortions, have doctors who perform them charged with murder, keep a dead woman on a ventilator so the 8 week fetus matures, allow a woman to bleed out in the parking lot until she is near death,
etc.
She is clueless if she blames the left for anything.

Sho once claimed “Obama’s policies” which she never specified, was the reason for the family’s eviction from their ranch, and not that pesky - Pay your fucking mortgage! - Marxism.

She’s a real piece of Reich-wing.nuttery . Glad this on fell on her.
