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.'"

    You can’t do a little eugenics without risking Full Blown Eugenics, unfortunately or not.

      I’m totally for a basic civics test in order to vote. You should understand what you’re voting for and what it means and why.

            And it was easy to decern this and instead of making a proper federally recognised standard you threw the baby out with the bath water and again, I’m seeing people here liking literal death threats to the person this post was originally about, is that better then having a civics test, you people act like you both have all the power and none of it at the same time.

              Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.

                Can you do anything other then quote other people? What you just posted has nothing to do with that I said.

                  It’s everything to do with what you said. And if someone said something in a clear, concise manner, I’m not reinventing the wheel.

                    Then explain clearly for the ones in the back then. I think we should filter actually idiot out of decision making and give them social task they can handle as Iv already described.

      You fundamentally don’t know what eugenics is, I’m not trying to breed anybody and I’m not trying to get rid of anybody. This is what a real meritocracy looks like

                  Im fine, im not trying to get a rise out of people, if hypocrisy, disingenuous behavior, and playground insults actually hurt my feelings past making me think less of people’s general supposed honesty and integrity, id not talk to anyone online ever.
