The offices of Rep. Kat Cammack, a Florida Republican and vocal pro-life advocate, were evacuated Wednesday after receiving what she described as “imminent death threats” from pro-abortion activists.
The threats followed a Wall Street Journal article detailing Cammack’s life-threatening experience with an ectopic pregnancy, which she said was mishandled due to fearmongering by pro-abortion groups.
Cammack, co-chair of the House Pro-Life Caucus, shared in the article that in May 2024 she faced delays in receiving emergency treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, where the baby implants in the fallopian tube and usually will die. She attributed the hesitation of medical staff to administer a necessary methotrexate injection to confusion caused by pro-abortion messaging about Florida’s six-week abortion ban, rather than the law itself, which includes exceptions for life-threatening cases like hers.

“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,” Cammack’s press office stated on X, accompanied by screenshots of threatening social media comments. The evacuation occurred at her Washington, D.C., offices, with the U.S. Capitol Police investigating the threats, according to ABC News’s Florida affiliate.
Cammack, who is expecting her first child in August, emphasized that her experience underscores the dangers of politicizing abortion with lies and misinformation.
“These dangerous pro-abortion ads contributed to delays that endangered my life,” she said in a statement to WCJB-TV, asserting that Florida’s law clearly allows treatment for ectopic pregnancies. She called for bipartisan efforts to address maternal health crises without inciting violence.
The congresswoman’s ordeal has sparked renewed debate among pro-life advocates, who argue that misinformation campaigns by abortion groups create unnecessary fear among medical professionals.
Cammack, a staunch supporter of pro-life policies, made it clear that her treatment was not an abortion because the unborn baby is dead in such cases.
“There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion,” she told the Wall Street Journal.
The threats against Cammack come amid a broader rise in hostility toward pro-life Americans. Her office did not specify which locations were evacuated but reiterated her resolve to continue advocating for women’s healthcare and pro-life values.
“I won’t back down,” Cammack said, according to Florida Politics.
The U.S. Capitol Police have not released additional details about the ongoing investigation. Cammack’s office declined further comment, citing the active probe.
