Overview
- In May 2024, doctors hesitated to treat Cammack’s five-week ectopic pregnancy with methotrexate because Florida’s six-week abortion ban raised fears of legal repercussions
- Florida’s ban allows life-saving exceptions but its ambiguous wording prompted confusion among medical providers until state regulators issued guidance clarifying treatment for ectopic cases
- Cammack has blamed “fearmongering” by abortion rights advocates for the treatment delay and continues to support the state’s six-week abortion restriction with exceptions for rape, incest and cases where a mother’s life is at risk
- On June 25, her congressional offices were evacuated after credible death threats tied to her Wall Street Journal interview and law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Capitol Police are investigating
- Cammack is currently pregnant again and due this summer, a development she says underscores the need for clear medical-access protections
