Florida Representative Kat Cammack said her offices were evacuated on Wednesday due to “imminent death threats” against her, her family and her staff.
Cammack said the threats began after the Wall Street Journal reported on her experience with an ectopic pregnancy last year.
She told the newspaper that doctors had been hesitant to give her a drug to end the pregnancy even though her life was at risk because they were worried about running afoul of Florida’s abortion law — which she blamed on “fearmongering” from abortion-rights groups.
Cammack wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that her office had subsequently received “thousands of hate-filled messages and dozens of credible threats from pro-abortion activists, which law enforcement is actively investigating.” Her post included screenshots of comments and messages she received on social media.
Today, we had to evacuate our offices due to imminent death threats against me, my unborn child, my family, and my staff. These threats erupted after the Wall Street Journal reported on my life-threatening ectopic pregnancy—a nonviable pregnancy with no heartbeat.Since then,… pic.twitter.com/gsaBO70s9P

She added: “To those spreading misinformation: I did not vote for Florida’s heartbeat law; I serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, not the Florida Legislature. Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I won’t back down in the fight for women and families. Ensuring women have the resources and care they deserve is critical. We need real conversations about maternal healthcare in America—conversations based on truth, not fear.”
Abortion rights advocates told Newsweek that the delays Cammack experienced were “a direct consequence of Florida lawmakers passing extreme, confusing, and politically motivated abortion bans.”
Newsweek has contacted Cammack’s office and the U.S. Capitol Police for comment by email outside of regular working hours.
