Florida abortion law confusion: GOP representative says that the hospital delayed ectopic pregnancy care; Draws fearmonging, no policy

Florida Republican Congresswoman Cat Camemac has stated that the fear of strict abortion laws of the state delayed their emergency treatment for an ectopic pregnancy last year. Talking to the Wall Street Journal, Camemac stated that hospital staff were initially reluctant to administer methotrexates, a drug used to eliminate ectopic pregnancies, drugs used to eliminate eggs, on concerns that they could face legal consequences. In May 2024, Kat Camemac demanded emergency care when she was five weeks in a non -actopic pregnancy, which was a serious threat to her life. On May 1, the medical personnel hesitated to treat him after the Florida’s six -week miscarriage ban. Camemac said that he tried to clarify the law by looking at his phone and contacting the Governor’s office. Doctors eventually gave medicines after several hours. Although she co-heads the House Pro-Life Cocks and opposed the abortion, Camemac criticized that she described the abortion rights groups as “fear”, arguing that it contributes to uncertainty among healthcare providers. He admitted that critics could credits the delay for Republican -led abortion restrictions, but he said that his experience did not form abortion under the Florida Act.Florida’s six -week miscarriage ban stopped most miscarriage after six -week pregnancy, a point on which many individuals will not yet know that they are pregnant. State health officials later issued guidance that abortion is allowed when the life or health of a pregnant person is threatened. The words of the law created confusion in medical settings during the early months of enforcement. Activists and doctors have expressed concern over the law. Molly Duan of the Center for Reproductive Rights said that the law does not clearly define ectopic pregnancy, a condition that can be challenging to diagnose. Ellison Haddock, president of the American College of Emergency Physician, told Wall Street Journal that early pregnancy care is “medically complex” and doctors worry that their clinical decisions may be subject to prosecution.Camemac hoped that going publicly with his experience would help political groups find common land. Now in the last stages of later pregnancy, Camemac said that the politics of the incident had a permanent impact on him. “I will stand with any woman – Republican or Democrat – and fight for them to fight for them to take care of in a situation where they are experiencing abortion and ectopic pregnancy,” she said.
