Florida Rep. Kat Cammack Evacuates Offices After Death Threats Over Pregnancy

Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack's congressional offices were evacuated following credible death threats linked to her public discussion of a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy she experienced in May 2024. Cammack revealed that doctors initially hesitated to administer necessary treatment due to fears of violating Florida's six-week abortion ban, which had recently taken effect, though the law allows exceptions for life-threatening cases. She attributed the medical staff's hesitation to misinformation and fearmongering by pro-abortion activists rather than the law itself. Since sharing her story, Cammack has faced thousands of hate-filled messages and credible threats, which law enforcement is actively investigating. The congresswoman, who is expecting her first child, emphasized that her experience was not an elective abortion but a vital medical intervention and called for truthful, bipartisan dialogue on maternal healthcare without inciting violence. Her ordeal highlights the intense polarization and misinformation surrounding abortion laws and their impact on both patients and healthcare providers.
