Republican’s Pregnancy Collided With Abortion Politics
- In May 2024, Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack was hospitalized for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy soon after the state's six-week abortion ban took effect.
- The ban criminalizes abortions after six weeks with few exceptions, and medical staff hesitated to give Cammack methotrexate due to fears of prosecution despite the law exempting ectopic pregnancies.
- Cammack, who opposed abortion rights, argued her pregnancy was nonviable and said fearmongering by abortion-rights groups caused confusion that scared medical professionals from providing timely care.
- A report from Physicians for Human Rights described Florida's abortion ban as creating an 'unworkable legal landscape,' and doctors expressed concern their clinical judgment could lead to criminal charges.
- Following Cammack's experience, Florida regulators issued clarifying guidelines, and she expressed willingness to support all women needing care during miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies despite her opposition to abortion.
