Cammack Introduces Truth in Women’s Healthcare Act
Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) introduced a House Resolution reaffirming the importance of accurate medical information and guidance for the public, lawmakers and emergency department professionals, treating pregnant women and their unborn children, particularly in the cases involving miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
“No woman facing a medical emergency like a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy should be left in danger because of confusion or misinformation,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “This resolution is about reinforcing the importance of long established and clear guidance for doctors so that patients receive quality care and that the public is properly informed on what current law does—and does not—allow.”
Background:
Last May, Congresswoman Cammack experienced a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a medical emergency in which the embryo implants outside the uterus and cannot survive. Her case, like thousands of others faced by women across the country, required immediate intervention to save her life.
After courageously sharing her experience in the Wall Street Journal, the Congresswoman became the target of vicious backlash. She, her unborn child, her family, and even her staff received an onslaught of death threats and harassment. This deeply personal and painful moment laid bare the consequences of today’s toxic political environment surrounding women’s healthcare.
More alarmingly, it revealed how reckless and dangerous the abortion lobby’s disinformation campaign has become—conflating emergency medical care for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies with elective abortion in order to push a broader narrative. By weaponizing fear and misrepresenting facts, they are not only endangering the lives of patients but also silencing those who speak the truth. Not a single professional medical, health organization or state law regards treatment for miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies as abortion. Cammack’s experience underscores the urgent need for educating the general public, ensuring clarity in policy and civil discourse.
The Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, numerous pro-life and women’s advocacy organizations have also voiced their strong condemnation of the threats and harassment against the Congresswoman. Read their full statement here.
