Florida Republican Cat Kamak has revealed that she almost died last year as a result of the six -week ban on abortions of her country, which left the hospital’s employees not tend to cure her ectopic pregnancy for fear of prosecution.
Speaking with The Wall Street JournalKamak, 37, reported her experience in an unnamed at the Emergency Department of the Hospital in Florida on May 31, 2024, when it was discovered that her baby’s embryo would not survive and that her own life was in danger without action.
A doctor discovered that the embryo had implanted, where the fallopian tube meets the uterus, a horny ectopic pregnancy, and frankly told the representative: “If it is torn, it will kill you.”

But after deciding against the operation, the doctors and nurses of the facility had to be convinced to give her a shot to Methotrexate, which she had to expel pregnancy.
This was because the six -week ban on the state came into force earlier this month, which made employees fear that they could lose their medical licenses and be sent to prison if they give it a medicine that blocks the flow of folic acid to the embryo to prevent its growth.
Kamak was only five weeks pregnant at that time, the embryo had no heart rhythm and her own safety was in danger, but nevertheless the Congressman turned out to be forced to withdraw the law by the law by phone to justify the case and even call the Governor Ron Ron, without being able to reach it.
Since then, Florida regulators have issued new guidelines for clarifying the situation and Cammack, which is a pro-life and opposes abortions, except in the case of rape and incest or when the mother’s life is at risk, is again pregnant and is due in August.
But surprisingly, given her ordeal, the representative does not believe that the law itself is guilty and instead accuses the Democrats of frightening medical professionals in confusion about their responsibilities.
“It was absolutely afraid in its greatest form,” Kamak told Journal Although she acknowledges that reproductive rights activists can draw the opposite conclusion from her history.
“There will be some comments like” Well, thank God we have abortion services, “even though what I went through was not an abortion,” she said.
Cammack also acknowledged that the heated political atmosphere related to the issue in recent years has not served first to put the best interests of expectant mothers.

“I would stand with every woman – Republican or Democrat – and fight for them so that they can take care of a situation where they experience miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy,” she said.
“We have turned the conversation about women’s health into two camps: pink hats and pink ribbons. It’s either breast cancer or abortion.”
She said it was vital for women to lead the debate on reproductive rights among domestic Republicans, as men were superior to them six to one within their kakus, also reporting that one of her male colleagues was “almost sunk under the table” when she mentions breastfeeding in a recent conversation.
Dr. Alison Hadok, President of the American College of Emergency Doctors, told Journal It is common for doctors in countries who have limited abortion access to concern, “whether their clinical judgment will endure if there is any prosecution.”
“It was a real stress for many of our doctors,” she said.
Molly Dwayne, a senior lawyer at the Center for Reproductive Rights, embarked on the argument of Cammack that the selection activists are guilty of sowing confusion, pointing out that Florida regulators have made it intended to aggressively apply their six weeks.
