Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack was widely criticized after opening up to reporter Tara Palmeri about having trouble accessing abortion for an ectopic pregnancy in Florida after she helped pass a six-week abortion ban in the state.
Cammack told the Wall Street Journal that she faced delays in receiving treatment for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy shortly after Florida’s six-week abortion ban took effect in May 2025.
Cammack blamed those delays not on the law itself but on what she described as misleading messaging from abortion-rights advocates that had made healthcare workers fearful of legal repercussions, telling the Journal:
“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst. There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.'"
When you demonize people that don’t look or think like you, there’s a safety in the “known” evil.
Soon, you don’t see people from other races as people but you see the humanity in the evils perpetrated by people who do look like you.
Do that with the social media bubbles you have now that constantly reinforce these biases and we have the shitty fucking situation where rich people leverage to get themselves elected. Soon they’re going to remove the voting entirely.
