Republican lawmaker with ectopic pregnancy nearly died amid new Florida abortion laws - but blames the left [View all]
Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that she almost died last year as a result of her states six-week abortion ban, which left hospital staff reluctant to treat her ectopic pregnancy for fear of criminal prosecution.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Cammack, 37, reported her experiences in an unnamed Florida hospitals emergency room on May 31 2024 when it was discovered that there was no way for her babys embryo to survive and that her own life was in danger without action.
A doctor discovered the embryo implanted where the fallopian tube meets the uterus, a cornual ectopic pregnancy, and frankly told the representative: If this ruptures, itll kill you.
But after deciding against surgery, the facilitys doctors and nurses had to be persuaded to give her the shot of methotrexate she required to expel the pregnancy.
