Congressional Pro-Life Caucus and advocacy groups condemn threats against Rep. Cammack
Press release from the Office of Rep. Kat Cammack
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus—Representatives Kat Cammack (R-FL), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Andy Harris (R-MD), Bob Onder (R-MO), and Chris Smith (R-NJ)—released the following statement:
“The death threats directed at Congresswoman Kat Cammack, her unborn child, her family, and her staff are unacceptable. These threats followed the Wall Street Journal profile which detailed her personal experience with a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—an experience that should spark compassion, not hatred.
“This response exposed just how reckless and dangerous the abortion lobby’s disinformation campaign has become.
“Let’s be clear: not a single major medical organization—including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic—considers treatment for ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage to be elective abortion. These are life-threatening emergencies that require medical intervention.
“It is intentionally deceptive to refuse to distinguish between elective procedures that terminate an unborn life and lifesaving care. Miscarriage is not elective. Treating a rupturing ectopic pregnancy is not a choice—it is a medical necessity. No woman should be denied life-saving care because a doctor or hospital fears legal or political consequences.
“The Pro-Life Caucus is working alongside women’s health advocates, medical professionals, and bipartisan lawmakers to deliver clear, compassionate policy. Our goal is simple: protect life, defend truth, and ensure every woman gets the care she deserves.”
We are inspired and grateful that numerous pro-life and women’s advocacy organizations have also voiced their strong condemnation of these threats and stand in support of Congresswoman Cammack and the Pro-Life Caucus’s efforts to advance legislation that protects women’s healthcare, safeguards unborn lives, and upholds the truth.
“SBA Pro-Life America stands with Representative Kat Cammack and the House Pro-Life Caucus against anyone who intentionally confuses doctors about whether treatment for ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage is allowed under pro-life laws. Make no mistake — every state protects women in a medical emergency such as ectopic pregnancy, and the federal Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act (EMTALA) ensures that pregnant women and their unborn children receive appropriate care in the emergency room,”said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of SBA Pro-Life America.“We rejoice with Rep. Cammack as she anticipates the birth of her child, and we condemn all threats against her and her family. We are grateful to Representative Cammack for sharing her story and turning her bad experience into an opportunity to educate medical professionals and the public so that women and the babies get the best possible healthcare.”
“Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) stands with Congresswoman Cammack as she faces violent threats from the pro-abortion left,” said Penny Nancy, President and CEO, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee. “These threats are a direct result of a culture that has forgotten the value of human life, and we lament that Congresswoman Cammack is facing threats born from lies. CWALAC applauds Congresswoman Cammack for speaking truth about the pro-abortion narrative.”
“No woman should be denied life-saving care because a doctor or hospital fears legal or political consequences….”
Indeed, but the fear was created by the passage of punitive legislation by Kat’s allies in the anti-abortion movement. The anger directed at her by most was the BS of her immeiately blaming others for her situation, as if the doctors who were hesitant to treat her did not have legitimate fears of persecution by a either true believing DA, or one looking to move up in the GOP’s anti-abortion political movement.
This press release is more political propaganda for her benefit, not a serious addressing of the issue and the new ones their legislation created.
“I never thought leopards would eat my face,” sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.
This is an example of why fetus personhood at conception in a ridiculous argument to make, a position many hold and would like to make and impose on society.
How about we let Drs and patients decide what’s best and not insert Government, criminal prosecutions, and religion into the these difficult personal decisions.
Furthermore our Governor and his wife stealing Medicaid settlement money, i.e. taxpayer funds, to put the State/Government finger on the scales in a Constitutional amendment vote is a likely part of the outrage many feel for Ms Cammack’s accusations of being the victim in the world she and her colleagues have created.
