Description

Representative Kat Cammack of Florida’s 3rd district has spent the last decade in politics. Over this time she has voted consistently for anti-abortion laws in her state over her tenure as a congresswoman. She voted for and was the lead sponsor for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in 2021 and 2023. She also has been co-chair for the House Pro-Life Caucus which promotes anti-abortion legislation.


In May 2025, Kat Cammack had complications with an ectopic pregnancy. Her healthcare providers delayed care due to the laws that Cammack has voted for.  


The Florida abortion ban uses broad language defining abortion as ending a pregnancy in any way other than birth. This kind of definition leaves room for the criminalization of ectopic pregnancy treatment, forcing health providers and administrators to tread carefully.  The text of anti-abortion legislation is vague and often does not include explicit exceptions, for treatment of ectopic pregnancy or other medical emergencies, but it carries significant penalties such as felony charges or loss of medical license.
