U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack has been forced to evacuate her office amid death threats from pro-abortion activists, following the publication of an article in the Wall Street Journal detailing her ectopic pregnancy. The congresswoman, who is a Republican, has been targeted for her stance on abortion and her recent comments on maternal healthcare. Cammack has clarified that she did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law, which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, and that she is committed to ensuring women have access to the resources and care they need.
U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack has been forced to evacuate her office amid death threats from pro-abortion activists, following the publication of an article in the Wall Street Journal detailing her ectopic pregnancy. The congresswoman, who is a Republican, has been targeted for her stance on abortion and her recent comments on maternal healthcare.
Cammack has clarified that she did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law, which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, and that she is committed to ensuring women have access to the resources and care they need. She has also noted that the threats came after the publication of the WSJ interview, which she described as a life-threatening event. In her post, Cammack included photos displaying the types of harassment she has received, including threats against her family and staff.
Although the nature of her condition was considered fatal, she was still afraid, she said, and blames pro-choice messaging. ‘It was absolute fearmongering at its worst,’ she told the publication. ‘There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.’
Cammack is a Republican who has supported exceptions for rape and incest and instances in which the mother’s life is at risk. She has been a vocal advocate for maternal healthcare and has called for real conversations about the issue in America. However, she has also faced criticism from pro-choice groups for her position on abortion.
The incident highlights the growing vulnerabilities for lawmakers on Capitol Hill, as the congresswoman has been a target of harassment and threats from pro-abortion activists. The threats have prompted law enforcement to investigate, and Cammack has called for a more nuanced conversation about the issue of abortion in the United States.
