Florida Rep. Cammack Offices Evacuated After Death Threats

Florida Representative Kat Cammack's offices were evacuated following imminent death threats against her, her family, and staff, which escalated after a Wall Street Journal report detailed her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy and delayed treatment due to doctors' concerns about Florida's strict six-week abortion ban. Cammack clarified she did not vote for the state's heartbeat law, emphasizing that she serves in the U.S. House, not the Florida Legislature, and condemned misinformation and fearmongering from abortion-rights groups as contributing factors to the threats and confusion among medical providers. She highlighted the critical need for truthful discussions about maternal healthcare and condemned the politicization of women's health, noting that Florida's law includes exceptions to protect the life of the mother. Law enforcement is actively investigating the credible threats, reflecting the increased vulnerabilities lawmakers face amid heightened political tensions over abortion rights. The controversy underscores ongoing challenges for patients and providers navigating restrictive abortion laws and misinformation, which have heightened since the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the enactment of stringent state bans like Florida's.
