Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

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.'"

"Misleading messaging" i.e. saying that the law prevents things like this instead of just straight-up shooting a toddler in the face, which is what most Republicans seem to think abortion is. Rot, bitch.

The baby will never realize how lucky it was

No baby. It was an ectopic pregnancy. They were so anti-abortion that they basically made any medical procedure in that direction illegal, ignoring any medical input.

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy happening outside the uterus, and the only way to save the mother is to remove the embryo. Such a "pregnancy" never leads to a baby being born if left alone. It's basically abortion or both die. And those idiots went big ways to make this procedure illegal. Any doctor confronted with such a diagnosis has the option to let the mother die or go to prison.

Shit like that happens when the education system is so anti-science that actual scientific input to a discussion is simply ignored as being too "sciency". We are talking about the country where they once legally defined the value of the number PI as four...

Whoa, do her constituents know she is a radicalized abortionist! /s

Gods Will has been violated!!!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

It was an abortion. Idiots never learn.

I have a better example. Someone who didn't do it to herself. Here's someone who lost even more and it wasn't her own fault.

A religious hospital refused critical ectopic pregnancy care. Now the patient is suing.

Fuck that maga piece of shit. I won't be sad when she dies.
