Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack was widely criticized after opening up to reporter Tara Palmeri about having trouble accessing abortion for an ectopic pregnancy in Florida after she helped pass a six-week abortion ban in the state.
Cammack told the Wall Street Journal that she faced delays in receiving treatment for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy shortly after Florida’s six-week abortion ban took effect in May 2025.
Cammack blamed those delays not on the law itself but on what she described as misleading messaging from abortion-rights advocates that had made healthcare workers fearful of legal repercussions, telling the Journal:
“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst. There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.'"
Jesus Christ, what a stupid bitch.

In a follow-up interview with Palmeri, Cammack said her experience brought her "down a path of understanding…
Yep. Sounds legit.
Empathy? Never heard of it
These people
The idiots thought that 6 weeks is 6 weeks from the intercourse, so “plenty of time to discover it”.
Instead it’s 6 weeks from the last period, meaning in most cases, unless you were actively trying to get pregnant, when you discover that you’re pregnant the 6 weeks are already passed or almost passed. You can’t even know that the pregnancy is ectopic before 8 weeks, because at 6 weeks the embryo is so small that you can’t see it with the ultrasound.
And in this case, an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo is planted in the wrong position, so there are only two outcomes:
- Surgical removal before the 8 week (technically a forbidden abortion)
- Do as God intended and do nothing (at the 10th week the embryo dies because can’t grow and after weeks of extreme pain the mother dies of hemorrhaging and sepsis)
So, maybe if the mother at the 5th week and half was experiencing some weird pain in the belly, and had a good insurance that covered a transvaginal ultrasound, they could discover the problem and schedule the abortion before the deadline.
If the mother didn’t have a good insurance, just thought “well maybe my belly pain it’s just a temporary problem because I’m a week late with my period”, when the doctors discover the problem they will say “sorry we discovered the problem 3 days too late according to the arbitrary deadline that the legislators decided, you have two painful weeks left and then you’ll die”
“I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face” Says the supporter of the “Face Eating Leopards” party.
“I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face” Says the CHAMPION of the “Face Eating Leopards” party.
“I didnt think the leopards would eat MY face” says the person who removed the gates and actively held people down so leopards could eat their faces
Is she like medically stupid?
Well, she is a Republican and she’s from Florida.
She failed to realize to pro life whom she supported, women are not people but just breeders to produce more children.
No, she’s a liar.
Stop letting these people hide behing mental deficiency. They’re not stupid, they’re disposable trash and they choose to be.
they think it dint affect them, or the legislation wasnt going to enforce it? republicans always assume the contrary when evidence points to the opposite. if its too good to be true, republicans believe it.
Republicans don’t have beliefs. They don’t have political positions. They pretend to believe whatever might need to be true to help them feel like they’re scoring a point against someone they hate. That is all. Pay attention.
I hate republicans as much as the next non-republican, but one of the main problems we’re facing is extreme polarisation and division. Straw-manning the other side like that isn’t helping anyone except maybe your own ego.
They are real people who also want to live comfortably and be loved by their friends and family. They’ve just been brainwashed and haven’t thought things through enough to brake free from it. So, they believe pretty much anything their cult tells them. It’s horrible and it is stupid, but even smart people believe stupid things some times (even if it’s less frequent).
We need to bring more humanity and cooperation into the world. Call out bad beliefs and behaviours instead of dehumanising the people.
I can sometimes excuse a voter to be ignorant and misled, up to a certain point.
I have absolutely no mercy for a lawmaker whose job is to educate oneself and vote bills based on one’s understanding and representing a political point of view.
Before such a law is passed, there are debates during which I am sure other lawmakers and health professional warned about its consequences. And even if there were not, it was still her damn’ job to find such people and educate herself.
She is the first line of responsibility. She voted the bill. If she’s a willful ignorant, then she’s just fucking incompetent at her job, and she should be removed. Period.
Oh absolutely fuck this right down to the balls. “Polarization” my ass- the rest of us have watched ONE group of people continually stab your country in the heart for thirty or forty years while accelerating their rhetoric and we’ve watched the rest of you sit there and accept every one of their transgressions as the new normal.
People like you and this absolutely clownish devotion to taking some imaginary high road so that maybe the fascists will come around one of these days? You are part of the problem and at this point just as deserving of blame than the MAGA garbage. Hell, taking your position would have been too conciliatory during the Bush era- in 2026 it’s beyond embarrassing. And this attitude is partly to blame for the fact that it’s now showing up on our doorsteps too.
“The firefighters aren’t doing a great job putting out the blaze but i’m operating on a higher plane here and I see that the real problem with those serial arsonists setting children’s hospitals on fire is the us-vs-them division between these two sides. I am burdened by my own decency.”
The alt-right is subhuman scum and there is no consequence they could suffer that they wouldn’t have coming to them.
How frequently do people have to scream out loud that they are hateful, bigoted, and entitled to everything at any cost of suffering for others, before you believe them?

She’s blaming them for correctly detailing the repercussions of the law she voted for.
They should be blamed for choosing to protect the filibuster over Roe.

even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion
It definitely was. Even the Catholics will agree it was an abortion. So now both sides hate you.
Cammack blamed those delays not on the law itself but on what she described as ……
So she didn’t learn anything either
shes trying to mentally gymnastic her way out of justifying, she saying “its not what you guy think its actually true, but something else” its basically like lawyers saying " client has an OTHERWISE blameless life, after said climate commited a henious crime"
SLAMMED
ANNIHILATED
DESTROYED
What a fucking cunt, she should have died
Dying of an ectopic pregnancy to own the libs, at least we could respect the consistency.
She certainly seems to have been willing to see other women suffer that fate.
Rules for thee, not for me
Downvoted by one coward.
People who don’t understand the inplications of their own actions and then blame others for their ignorance are getting tiring.
Its the Democrats’ fault for not warning us of the consequences of our own actions well enough.
-Republicans
Oh remember when Senator McConnell blamed Obama for not warning he and his dumbass party for the obvious unintended consequences for passing the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act?
It’s a proud Republican tradition of being fucking proud morons.
Yes, and if I remember correctly, this was after Obama had vetoed it and explained why!
mitch is evil and smart, he knows whats he doing.

When was the last time they listened to a democrat speaking?
You sound like most posters in Lemmy.
They sure love to blame the Dems for all the shit MAGA does.
“WhY dO yOu SuPpOrT gEnOcIdE? “
They ask while they create a worse outcome…
They ask as the orange pedo literally called 'yahoo telling him to ignore ceasefire negotiations with Biden, then outright says “I’ll help him finish the job”…then orders an illegal war in Iran and bombs schools for funsies.
But yeah, it’s the Dems who were gEnOcIdAl
Because they are correct
Yeah, it’s been over a century of that happening and things aren’t getting better because those same idiots are in charge of education.
The power of doublethink tied to idiocy is unstoppable.
Fuck these people.
Speaking of which, some poor scabby bastard banged her? Jesus. They’re all desperate in their own way, aren’t they.
Actually, scratch that… that’s exactly how we got into this mess.
No. I don’t think I will. I find them too revolting to engage in intimacy with them.
