Kat Cammack recounts emergency room ordeal but claims ‘fearmongering’ by Democrats and pro-choice activists sowing confusion among medical professionals

Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that she almost died last year as a result of her state’s six-week abortion ban, which left hospital staff reluctant to treat her ectopic pregnancy for fear of criminal prosecution.

Cammack was only five weeks pregnant at the time, the embryo had no heartbeat and her own safety was in jeopardy, but nevertheless the congresswoman found herself forced to pull up the letter of the law on her phone to argue the case and even put in a call to Governor Ron DeSantis, without being able to reach him, before staff relented and came to her aid.

But surprisingly, given her ordeal, the representative does not feel the law itself is at fault and instead blames Democrats for scaring medical professionals into confusion over their responsibilities.

Well, of course this law change doesn't faze a Republican, because they feel like they are able to do whatever the hell they want regardless of what the law says.

Unfortunately, the people who operate in the real world have to actually consider the consequences of their actions and whether they might be breaking the law. So the fact that the laws concerning the doctors' field of endeavour have been fucked around with makes them understandably confused. Not their fault they're confused. In fact, being concerned about the legality is definitely an indication of professionalism.

Wait, this bitch murdered her baby? Hope she enjoys roasting in hell. /s

Damn Democrats. They goaded us into getting rid of abortion, which I want. Because of that, I almost died. Democrats and their trickery need to be confined into camps to protect people from the woke mind virus.

I feel like a dick for pointing this out, but it'd be This-shit-for-brains' logic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

No, you see, they meant "This-shit-for-brain-cell's logic;" the shit cell is singular.

I have to wonder if the Doctors weren't trolling her a bit. She had an ectopic pregnancy at 5 weeks. Not only is the abortion necessary, it was within the six-week limit, so it was perfectly legal on all counts. So why would they claim they were confused about the law?

I suspect they wanted to teach an arrogant Florida Republican a lesson about politics encroaching on the medical decisions between a doctor and their patient, and made her jump through a bunch of hoops first, just to make her feel the fear, anxiety, anger, and frustration of the average citizen whose medical care is being dictated by MAGA Nazis.

Remember, we are only hearing the side of a professional MAGA Nazi, so she's a proven liar.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

She should have stood by her religious and political principles, and just rode it out. It was God's, and MAGA's, will to put her through that ordeal, and he expected her to accept her fate.

Instead, she defied The MAGA Lord and fought to have a Democratic abortion. She's a Democrat now, destined for an eternity in a fiery torturous Hell. May God have mercy on her damned Democratic Soul.

/S, nobody really believes that nonsense.

Because these malignant narcissists that have infected out political systems are incapable of blaming themselves.

There is also a fat joke I can say but I’m to classy of a lefty to say it. Dumb fat bitch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

She was pregnant, so somebody rolled her in flour and looked for the wet spot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not as classy of a lefty, just whisper it in my ear.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This bitch is so fat that when she farts the national weather service has to give it a name.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I almost died choking on my wheat thins, I thank you my good man/woman.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I'll try harder next time.

Baseball, huh?

Donald is right. Americans are fat and disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

That tracks.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's such a shame, why would she have vote to hurt herself? Is she stupid?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

“There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion,” she said.

Yes. Yes she is.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

This is an important bit of cognitive dissonance occurring right now, Christians do not consider their "medically necessary" abortions to be "abortions." And they don't think anyone BUT them can actually have a medically necessary one, everyone else is using them for birth control. So the laws should become more restrictive, not less.

Why did Ronald Regean do this?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's why they can only win. It's s closed system and the media refuses to call bullshit.

Worse: The media is highly complicit, they push any agenda that powerhungry sociopaths pay them to vomit into the masses. Without a deinstitutionalized media landscape, the world will never know peace.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Absolutely complicit.

We have a president who can barely form a sentence and the news barely comments on his mental decline and batshit choices. But bring up Biden and the jokes about his stability start flying.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago

Are we sure it was an ectopic pregnancy, and not gallstones caused by her diet?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 5 days ago

Definitely not a cult.
