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.'"

I in no way believe we couldn’t make a comprehensive intelligence and decision making ability test using international standards to prevent minority group targeting and peroperly sort out the stupids from everyone else

I do believe that. Especially since whatever organization you task with that can still be bribed or manipulated.

I’m personally partial to a different, more objective mechanism: we already restrict voting and eligibility for office for people that are too young, don’t we? Let’s do that for people that are too old too. Take the life expectancy of a country and anyone that’s beyond that can’t vote or hold office. You’ve already done enough to shape the country, now leave it to people that might actually get to keep living in it.

    Yes but this is harder to do and can be tracked, that and the substance of the test would also make it obvious if a group was being targeted

    I’m not really confident in what can or cannot be tracked considering there was an island where most of the world’s elites were flying to have sex with little girls and we started having the smallest idea after like 10 years.

    The fact that it would be obvious wouldn’t really matter either: first, reality itself has already been denied plenty of times (see the above “my abortion wasn’t an abortion”), and second, even if we all agreed that a group was being targeted… what of it? Would anyone be able to do anything about it? We have a huge list of people who have 100% been on Epstein’s island and therefore at minimum knew what was going on. How many suffered consequences? Is anyone arresting or prosecuting them yet?

    Sorry if this comes off as defeatist but recent years really made me lose most of the little faith I had in law and common sense. It feels like people in power WILL exploit any tool you give them for personal benefit and there’s gonna be nothing to stop them.

    Well I mean you would be able to tell if a test was flagging one specific group in the same way most people can tell that an iq test is actually reading a person's pandern recognizing ability under time pressure, many would still notice the discrepancy unlike the island of pedo that were specifically hiding from everyone to avoid scrutiny.

    Oh and people from epstine's Island have faced justice, outside of the USA and isreal....

    And no no, your not wrong to be skeptical, I mean look at how many people came out of the wood work to attack me rather then actually engage with the question, what matters is transparency and people's willingness to hold people accountable.

    This is all obviously not going to happen, if I believed this would actually work I wouldn't be here right now talking about it on this messaging board, I'd be attempting to talk to politicians and the rich but we both know those 2 group depend on these systems to hold power and they'd never Willingly let it happen because it would screw them.

    Eh, the only one that comes to mind is Prince Andrew, apparently Peter Mandelson too but I just found out. Every other person on the list has barely been questioned to my knowledge, and while most of them are American, it’s not all of them.

    In any case, it’s just an example of how, even given clear evidence of “something being wrong”, the law ultimately does nothing to most of the perpetrators. And it happens with the police, with giant corporations, with world politicians… I just don’t think anything would actually be done even if it was apparent that the test was discriminatory.

    And then of course, as you said, I don’t think this can realistically happen either with our current landscape, we’re just “whatif”-ing on the internet and that’s fine.
