Overview

• On June 25, Cammack’s offices were evacuated after she reported thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible death threats targeting her, her family and staff, which law enforcement is now investigating.
• Those threats followed a Wall Street Journal article on June 22 describing her May 2024 ectopic pregnancy, during which doctors hesitated to administer methotrexate over fears of violating the six-week ban.
• Florida regulators later issued guidance clarifying that terminating an ectopic pregnancy is permitted when a mother’s life is at risk, but the law’s ambiguous wording initially sowed confusion among providers.
• Cammack has blamed abortion-rights advocates for fearmongering that she says misrepresented the law and deterred doctors from providing timely care.
• The congresswoman opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment and clarified that she did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law because she serves in the U.S. House, not the state legislature.
