Rep. Kat Cammack on post-Roe landscape and the Republican party

As the country continues to wrestle with the fallout from the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month, House Pro-Life Caucus co-chair Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) joins Washington Post Live on Thursday, July 28 at 10:00 a.m. ET to reveal her personal story of what the abortion issue means to her. She will explain why she believes the proper role to decide abortion is with the states and why she opposes congressional Democrats’ attempts to codify abortion rights.

Highlights

“This morning’s news about meeting the criteria of a quote-unquote technical recession wasn’t really a surprise for anybody, Republican or Democrat… I can tell you having been back home and talking to constituents, it has been a recessionary type environment for a while.” – Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) (Video: Washington Post Live)

“The notion that there was going to somehow be checkpoints across interstate lines for women who were traveling across states to seek abortions, that somehow there was going to be some sort of effort to police this or go after women, that couldn’t be further from the truth… To suggest that somehow that states were going to restrict interstate travel and punish women for traveling to get an abortion was absolutely ludicrous.” – Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) (Video: Washington Post Live)

“As a constitutional conservative, I felt that it’s really quite simple for me, yes it is settled law and if we are really going to uphold the fifth amendment and the fourteenth amendment and guarantee equal protections under the law, we need to make sure that we’re doing that across the board.” – Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) (Video: Washington Post Live)
