The hypocrisy is astounding.

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.'"

    People who don’t understand the inplications of their own actions and then blame others for their ignorance are getting tiring.

      Its the Democrats’ fault for not warning us of the consequences of our own actions well enough.

        Oh remember when Senator McConnell blamed Obama for not warning he and his dumbass party for the obvious unintended consequences for passing the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act?

        It’s a proud Republican tradition of being fucking proud morons.
