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.'"

A. Not an American

B. how is still letting 80% of the population vote not majoritvely democratic,

and C. Your right, I think in a full democracy people are way to easily swayed by emotions and lies. By cutting out some of the more easily manipulated and giving them diff social dutys, I believe this with be mitigated better.

D. A good number of people on this page are liking death threats to the person this is about. But I'm the bad guy for suggesting people who are measurably dumb shouldn't vote, yah ok buddy.

E. It's not like they have family or friend that wouldn't still support and appreciate them or anything, are you saying I'm somehow preventing that from happening?

    Sure, I'm apparently just an example of why a country's people secretly hate democracy, deff not attaching judgement to anyone making that statement. at least when the others tried to attack me they didn't try to lamely cop-out when i corrected them in the end 🙄

    I must have missed the part where you corrected me (at least beyond not being an American). If anything it sounded like you were offering more evidence. You can attack me for saying the quiet part out loud, however it doesn't diminish what's being said.
