Rep. Cammack says offices were evacuated due to death threats

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) on Wednesday said her offices were evacuated due to “imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff,” which she claims “erupted” following a news report about her ectopic pregnancy.

The Wall Street Journal published an article on Sunday where Cammack shared the challenges she faced getting treatment for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy in May 2024. Doctors estimated at the time that she was just five weeks pregnant, but there was no heartbeat. She said medical staff had initially resisted treating her because they were worried about violating Florida’s near-total abortion ban, which had recently taken effect.

She is pregnant again and is due in the summer.

Since the article was published, Cammack said in a Wednesday post on X, “We’ve received thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating. In light of recent violence against elected officials, these threats are taken very seriously.”

Florida’s six-week abortion ban is among one of the most restrictive in the country and effectively amounts to a complete ban. Six weeks gestation is before many women know they are pregnant, and the state requires two in-person visits with the abortion provider 24 hours apart.

The law does not ban procedures for ectopic pregnancies, but its wording made doctors hesitant, according to the Journal’s reporting. Florida regulators have since given out guidance to address “misinformation” about the state’s ban.

In November, an abortion-rights ballot initiative fell short of passing in the state, leaving in place the ban that has helped restrict access across almost all of the Southern U.S. 

Cammack, who opposes abortion and co-chairs the House Pro-Life Caucus, supports exceptions for cases of rape and incest in the first trimester and in cases in which the mother’s life is at risk, the Journal reported.

In her Wednesday post, she clarified that she had not voted for the state’s current abortion ban.

“To those spreading misinformation: I did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law; I serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, not the Florida Legislature,” Cammack said in her post on Wednesday.

“Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I won’t back down in the fight for women and families. Ensuring women have the resources and care they deserve is critical. We need real conversations about maternal healthcare in America—conversations based on truth, not fear,” she added.
