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.'"

What a piece of shit.

Ah, yes, the only moral abortion is my abortion

Another great example of why people who show no capacity for empathy should be shunned from society until they change. She cries about her own abortion, but how many women have already died before she decided to shed a tear for herself?

"what I went through wasn't an abortion."

Wooooow. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

It’s an abortion until it’s MY abortion, then it’s life saving medical care.

It is amazing how terminally dumb people can be and still get elected.

Welcome to 'murica, where everything is made up and the definition of words don't matter!

Shunning people is by definition not an empathetic action, so your plan to increase the average empathy of society falls apart pretty much immediately. Ironically, building empathy requires the opposite of shunning.

I wonder what her world smells like, ya know, with her head up her ass and all

“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.'"

So it's all a branding issue?

Abortions for none, embryectomies and uterine evacuations for all who want one!

Stupid, piece of shit.

I'm done not pointing out the massive correlation between being evil and being a dumb mother fucker.

it couldn't have been an abortion, there was no satanic priest in a hooded black robe, goat skull headdress, and ritual dagger

Damn, if only the life threatening part was successful.

And nobody ate the "baby" I guess?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Empathy is part of the social contract, and when someone violates that social contract they are no longer protected by it. Empathy for the unempathetic is exactly the same as tolerating the intolerant. It leads to the death of the very principle we are trying to espouse.

Someone abort this idiot.

If you don't make people realize they are stupid and shitty, they often remain shitty (even if you literally tell them). Shunning sometimes works, and if it doesn't affect them, then their children are less likely to behave the same way. Empathy works if all parties are open to change, which unfortunately isn't a guarantee.

Beat me to it. Good work

They’ve decided that if you’ll die if you don’t get it then it’s not an abortion, because abortions are elective. No, this is not a real medical distinction; It’s the same surgery.

This seems to be the playbook, every time. Magas blame medical staff, not the laws.

Licensing is rigorous and as a medical professional, you’re allowed 1 license a lifetime. A doctor spends 12yrs of their life becoming a doctor, goes $200k+ in debt to get there, and these MAGAs talk like they expect doctors to interpret law instead of medicine.

The law says no, so either the doctor doesn’t do it, or they leave the state and practice in one that allows them to make medical decisions for their patients instead of a lawyer with religion sitting in public office.

Let’s not forget the doctor that was publically threatened for legally performing an abortion on a child of 13yrs who had been raped and impregnated by her rapist. The child was from a state where abortion was illegal.

I wish it killed her.

I knew it was a comicsands link as soon as I saw the word slammed.

I have a better example. Someone who didn't do it to herself. Here's someone who lost even more and it wasn't her own fault.

A religious hospital refused critical ectopic pregnancy care. Now the patient is suing.

Fuck that maga piece of shit. I won't be sad when she dies.

The procedures are often the same. A D&C is a D&C, whether it’s used to deliberately abort a viable fetus or to clean out an unviable fetus. It literally means to Dilate the cervix (so the doctor can see inside and get their instruments in there) & Curratage (use a tool to scrape tissue out of the uterus).

Or popping a pill to expel a fetus, viable or otherwise. Mifeprestone then Misoprostol vs Methotrexate then Misoprostol. In both cases, the first drug stops development, and the second drug expels the fetus.

In all of these cases, you’re aborting the fetus. The context changes, the act is the same.

they win the dumb-as-fuck vote. and thanks to the decades-old war against public education waged by republicants, there's more and more of them every day.

The paradox of tolerance is surprisingly easy to solve.

You're close but it's actually

"They’ve decided that if I die if I don’t get it then it’s not an abortion, for everyone else it is an abortion"

Small distinction I know but it makes a world of difference.

You could likely actually trim it up a bit to a more simple

"If I get it, it's not an abortion"

Its religious fundamentalism, aka, structured and mandated persistent irrational delusions, anti-reality cult member behavior

When you realize these people just are a kind of insane that isn't recognized as a mental disorder because you can still work a wage slave job while having it... ... and because its broadly popular ... everything starts to make more sense.

America was founded by mostly a mixture of petty criminals and their descendants, and religious nutjobs, and their descendants.

... if you abandon the melting pot / tapestry of differences with a backbone of principles ... idea of America... you revert back to old habits and entrenched norms and material power structures.

"Make the logic sound with one weird exception trick" ?

LOVE the emoji use here as a call-out to the meme. Brilliant.

“…even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion.”

Wait, so the baby was not…you know…’aborted’?

No one is trying to make these people feel empathy. The time to be taught that was childhood by loving, kind, emotionally available parents. That ship has long sailed. At this point we have to aim for shame and embarrassment if there is any hope to make those that are ok with these fucked up policies have an ounce of self reflection that might make them realize these shitty decisions affect them too. If they are going to be selfish cunts, we can at least educate them so they aren't dumb selfish cunts.

These people literally don't believe in reality so much as they believe in how you talk about it.

They all believe their specific reality is superior to anything else, facts, words, meaning be damned.

They're postmodernists who will tell you they hate post modernism, because they just pretend eords mean whatever they want them to.

The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion

Wait until she learns about ectopic pregnancies...

EDIT: Never mind, that's what she had. I didn't read it...

Whoa, do her constituents know she is a radicalized abortionist! /s

Gods Will has been violated!!!

It's only a real abortion if you believe it in your heart.

She had an ectopic pregnancy. That's why she needed an abortion, which she got (because it's okay when it's for me) but she's complaining about the fact that fear of prosecution under HER law made pharmacies unwilling (edit: I should have said "hesitant") to provide the necessary pills. It's the fact that it wasn't in her uterus that she's using to claim it "wasn't an abortion."

The only moral abortion is her own

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying!

Except that this is defined in the law, this is why healthcare providers are advised by their legal teams not to do it.

Silly cunt.

They tried… her mom had a drinking problem and became pregnant with her when she was just a teen. Then after suffering a stroke her mom was advised by doctors and family to abort the pregnancy due to the health risks posed to mother and child.

Her mom offcourse ignored the adults in the room and the US was then blessed with Kat, who proudly presents her redneck origin tale when explaining why she feels woman and children should be made to suffer.

It's a core part of the logic. Not some exception. The logic doesn't work without it. If to be tolerant you must tolerate intolerance. Then there is no such thing as tolerance. Just apathy.
