    Let’s all take a second to note that the outrageous hypocrisy that is the core of this story was not once challenged by The Guardian.

    what I went through wasn’t an abortion

    You’re ending a pregnancy, right? That’s all an abortion is: you abort the pregnancy.

    Gold medal for mental gymnastics there.

    But Cammack, who opposes abortion and co-chairs the House pro-life caucus, told the Wall Street Journal she blames messaging from pro-abortion groups for delaying her treatment, which is not banned under Florida’s restrictive statutes, who have created fear of criminal charges.

    She… Uhhh… Oh. She’s a moron. A hypocrite and a moron.

    Florida law allows abortion in the case of ectopic pregnancy or other situations where the mother’s life is in danger. If the events she’s presented are true it’s hard to think other than that the hospital staff were not clear on the law, and no doubt public discourse (which naturally centres around the strictest laws) has had an effect on that.

    But it’s also possible that the “reluctance” was just a delay during which her doctors were getting the necessary two written opinions that it was necessary.

      Bullshit. They spent that time:

      1. Doing the rest of their job, caring for all the other people
      2. Talking to legal and collecting required paperwork to support the legal case that the medical case is legal

    Cammack then spit on the reporter’s shirt, and then proceeded to run over a small child and dog in the parking lot, pausing to reverse and do it again.
