Pregnant Republican forced to evacuate Florida office after imminent death threats following her painful revelation
Florida Republican Kat Cammack shared Wednesday that her district office had to be evacuated due to death threats she received following a Wall Street Journal story published earlier this week detailed her experiences with an ectopic pregnancy last year. Cammack, 37, is currently pregnant and expecting her first child in mid-August. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the congresswoman spoke of 'imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family and my staff' based on her revealing her story about a 'nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat.' 'Since then, we've received thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating,' she added, noting the uptick of violent threats against elected officials. In a statement sent to the Daily Mail by Cammack's office she also noted: 'This is the unacceptable reality we're facing: sharing a personal health story in an effort to improve healthcare for women and their children can lead to threats, harassment, and evacuation orders'. 'This should be a wake-up call. Women deserve better. And so does the national healthcare dialogue, Cammack added. The threats come just over a week after a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were assassinated at their home by a gunman. Cammack also clarified that she did not vote for Florida's heartbeat law since she serves as a U.S. congresswoman, not a state legislature. Florida's heartbeat law, passed in 2023, bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected — typically around six weeks of pregnancy. '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,' Cammack said. Today, we had to evacuate our offices due to imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff. These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat. Since then,… — Rep. Cammack Press Office (@RepKatCammack) June 26, 2025 The Wall Street Journal reported that Cammack was about five weeks pregnant when she required a methotrexate injection to treat an ectopic pregnancy — a condition in which the embryo cannot survive. Cammack is a co-chair of the House Pro-Life Caucus, and opposes abortion, but backs exemptions in the case of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger. Cammack's team said some of the threats came in as comments on a series of photos she and her husband Matt Harrison took to celebrate her pregnancy.

Republican who blamed the political left for her near-fatal ectopic pregnancy now says she's facing death threats
Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that her offices had to be evacuated on Wednesday after she received 'imminent death threats' in response to comments she made last week about the treatment of her ectopic pregnancy in 2024. Cammack, 37, told The Wall Street Journal about her ordeal in a Florida emergency room after it was discovered that her baby's embryo was implanted where the fallopian tube meets the uterus, meaning it could not survive and that her own life was in danger without action. Writing on X on Wednesday evening, Cammack, who is pregnant again and due in August, recounted the disturbing backlash she had received in response to the article, posting screenshots of abusive messages she had been sent. 'Today, we had to evacuate our offices due to imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff. These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy – a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat,' she explained. 'Since then, 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. '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. '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.' ABC News's Florida affiliate has reported that it was Cammack's Washington, D.C., offices that were evacuated in response to the threats, rather than her Sunshine State premises, and that the U.S. Capitol Police are investigating. A follow-up statement from her office declared: 'Congresswoman Cammack highlighted the critical women's health crisis in America, particularly the shortage of maternal health resources and the risks of politicizing healthcare. 'Her personal story illustrates how treating women's health as a political issue endangers lives. Misinformation campaigns, funded by pro-abortion groups, have intentionally confused healthcare providers despite the law being clear on exceptions; rape, incest, victims of trafficking and life of the mother. These dangerous pro-abortion ads contributed to delays that endangered her life. 'Since the Wall Street Journal article, she has received dozens of credible death threats against herself, her unborn child, and her family, which are being investigated by U.S. Capitol Police. 'Cammack's experience underscores the unacceptable reality that sharing a personal health story in an effort to improve women's healthcare can lead to violence and intimidation. Women deserve better, as does the national healthcare dialogue.' After deciding against surgery last year during her pregnancy, the hospital's doctors and nurses had to be persuaded to give her the shot of methotrexate she required to expel the pregnancy because, she said, they feared criminal prosecution under the state's six-week abortion ban, even though she was only five weeks pregnant at the time. The procedure in question was not an abortion. Surprisingly, the congresswoman did not take issue with the ban but instead blamed the medics' hesitance on scaremongering by Democrats.

Republican congresswoman's office evacuated after pro-abortion activists send chilling threats
North Central Florida U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack shared on social media Wednesday night that her office was evacuated following death threats against her, her family and her staff. The Congresswoman alleges she has been a repeat victim of the threats following an exclusive with the Wall Street Journal in which she spoke about an expelled pregnancy in May of last year, according to a post on social media platform X. "These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat. Since then, we've recieved thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating," Rep. Cammack's Press Office posted. Her interview with WSJ occurred shortly after the state's abortion law went into effect and could be a possible contributor due to rumors circulating around reports that Cammack voted for Florida's heartbeat law, something she claims is not true. "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," she claimed. "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." In her post, Cammack included photos displaying the types of harassment she has received. The congresswoman said during the WSJ interview that she had an ectopic pregnancy and that after speaking with medical professionals she had initially refused to terminate her pregnancy. She says she had fears that she would be violating state law due to the fact she was five weeks along at the time of the termination. Although the nature of her condition was considered fatal, she was still afraid, she said, and blames pro-choice messaging. "It was absolute fearmongering at its worst," she told the publication. "There will be some comments like, 'Well, thank God we have abortion services,' even though what I went through wasn't an abortion." Fox News Digital has reached out to Congresswoman Cammack's office for comment but they have not immediately responded.
