Days after Rep. Kat Cammack told the media that pro-abortion rhetoric caused confusion which delayed her ectopic pregnancy treatment, she announced that her offices were evacuated due to “imminent death threats” against her and her family.
She explained that doctors were afraid to treat her because of misinformation pro-abortion media outlets were spreading about Florida’s Heartbeat Law.
Key Takeaways:
- Rep. Kat Cammack told the media she experienced an ectopic pregnancy last year, and her treatment was delayed due to pro-abortion fearmongering and false rhetoric.
- Cammack had to show doctors the text of the law before they would treat her, even though she wasn’t yet six weeks pregnant, there was no detectable heartbeat, and her life was at immediate risk.
- Shortly after going public with her story, Cammack’s offices had to be evacuated due to credible and “imminent” death threats upon her and her family.
The Details:
Cammack, who previously revealed she was almost aborted when her mother was told her life was at risk, said her office had to be evacuated after she received death threats against her and her family shortly after she told her ectopic pregnancy story to the media.
She said that emergency room doctors were afraid to treat her despite the life-threatening condition because pro-abortion media outlets had spread misinformation about Florida’s new pro-life law, which protects preborn children from abortion once a heartbeat can be detected (at about six weeks), although the heart first begins to beat about 21 days post-fertilization. Cammack is now pregnant again, after her harrowing experience.
“Today, we had to evacuate our offices due to imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff. These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat,” Cammack wrote on X. “Since then, we’ve received thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating. In light of recent violence against elected officials, these threats are taken very seriously.”
She also shared screenshots of social media remarks directed toward her, such as, “count your days fat a** b****,” and “Too bad this one [her current pregnancy] wasn’t ectopic as well, I wish you would have been left to bleed to death in a hospital bed….” Other comments claimed Cammack had a “medication abortion for ur ectopic pregnancy” — however, treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is not an induced abortion (the direct and intentional killing of a preborn child).

Cammack also clarified on X, “To those spreading misinformation: I did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law; I serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, not the Florida Legislature.
“Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I won’t back down in the fight for women and families. Ensuring women have the resources and care they deserve is critical. We need real conversations about maternal healthcare in America—conversations based on truth, not fear.”
The Backstory:
Cammack went to the emergency room in May 2024, the same month that Florida’s pro-life law took effect. She was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, but doctors were reluctant to treat her. As previously reported by Live Action News, at the time, news outlets were rife with stories claiming that women were being denied necessary care because of pro-life laws.
According to The Wall Street Journal, when the doctor at the hospital found that her embryo had implanted where the fallopian tube meets the uterus and had no heartbeat, he told her, “If this ruptures, it’ll kill you.” Yet, Cammack had to show the doctors the law before they would treat her — even though her embryo had no heartbeat, she was only five weeks pregnant, her life was in immediate danger, and treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion.
She blamed pro-abortion messaging in the media for her delayed care, saying it stirred up fear in doctors that they would face prosecution for carrying out lifesaving, legal treatments.
“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst,” she told the Wall Street Journal. “There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.”
