Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, who opposes abortion, recounts a delay in receiving life-saving treatment for an ectopic pregnancy due to hospital staff's fear of Florida's six-week abortion ban. Cammack blames pro-choice messaging for the delay, while abortion rights advocates attribute it to the restrictive law's ambiguity. The incident highlights the impact of abortion laws on emergency medical care, even for non-abortion procedures. Despite her own experience, Cammack maintains her anti-abortion stance but hopes for bipartisan cooperation on healthcare access in such situations.
