The Truth About My Ectopic Pregnancy, And the Pro-Abortion Lies That Followed

Recently, I was interviewed about sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill and the work we’re doing to protect women.

The host pivoted to one of the most painful experiences of my life: an ectopic pregnancy that nearly killed me.

I was brutally transparent.

She then told me she was going to air it on Father’s Day. The first Father’s Day my family would experience since our rainbow baby was born.

I asked her to hold off on publishing that portion of the interview for security reasons. I told her the specifics in detail.

She didn’t care.

She denied my request, saying the story was “in the public interest.”

Fine.

Then let’s tell the whole story.

Why I Asked Her to Wait

I have received hundreds of death threats.

Against me. Against my daughter. Against my team.

Recently, one man who made specific threats against my family skipped his court date. Law enforcement cannot find him. They are still looking for him.

This was the issue that brought this man to my doorstep. That is why I asked her to hold off until they could locate him.

It wasn’t because the facts were inconvenient as you’ve been led to believe.

That was the environment in which this interview aired.

THAT is why I asked for a delay.

Not because I wanted the story buried.

Not because I was unwilling to talk about what happened.

I was asking for time while law enforcement searched for someone who had threatened my family.

There is a difference. A very important one.

Within hours of Tara Palmeri publishing that interview, new threats began coming in.

THAT is why I asked her to await. To protect my child. Not to hide the truth. I never asked her to cut that portion—just to delay until the found this guy who threatened my family.

Again, she didn’t care. She chose clicks.

It’s clear that on social media today, the reward for nastiness and bad behavior is clicks and shares.

That’s the entire business model. And Tara Palmeri proved it.

Now Let Me Address the Lie Being Spread About Me

I had a cornual ectopic pregnancy—one of the rarest and most dangerous forms of ectopic pregnancy that exists.

Once the rupture happens, the mother bleeds out. That’s what I was facing.

In May of 2024, I woke up hemorrhaging.I took a pregnancy test, found out I was pregnant, and immediately thought I was miscarrying.

After multiple ultrasounds, doctors concluded I was approximately five weeks pregnant.

They couldn’t find a heartbeat.

Matt and I were devastated.

My HCG levels continued to rise.

Doctors warned me that rupture could happen at any time.

If it did, I faced catastrophic internal bleeding, permanent organ damage, and potentially death.

One physician explained that if rupture occurred, the window to save my life could be measured in minutes.

Not hours. Minutes.

They told me my baby had died.

The treatment I received was methotrexate, a drug that has been used for decades to treat ectopic pregnancies. It’s a common cancer drug.

The purpose of my treatment wasn’t to terminate a viable pregnancy. It was to prevent a rupture that could have killed me.

It has never been classified as an abortion.

Not in Florida. Not in any of the 50 states. Not by ACOG. Not by major medical organizations. Not even Planned Parenthood.

For years, even Planned Parenthood’s own website stated: “Treating an ectopic pregnancy isn’t the same thing as getting an abortion.”

Planned Parenthood said it.

Then—after Dobbs—they quietly removed that language. Because the truth had become inconvenient to the narrative they wanted to run.

The receipts exist.

What Florida Law Actually Said

Another claim being spread online is that Florida law prohibited my treatment or the treatment of ectopics, miscarriages or stillbirths. It did not.

The law contained explicit protections for treatment of ectopic pregnancies and medical emergencies threatening the life of the mother. The words are in the statute.
The authority existed.

So why was there confusion? Why was there a delay in my care that night?

A pro-abortion group spent millions geofencing false ads around Florida’s hospitals, telling doctors and nurses they’d face criminal prosecution for treating miscarriages and ectopics.

The nurse treating me showed me one of those ads on her phone. It was a lie.

And it created confusion at exactly the moment clarity mattered most.

Florida ultimately threatened legal action over those ads because they misrepresented what the law actually said.

THOSE groups and those advertisements endangered women.

And now many of those same groups are using my story—my baby—to push the exact same lie. Shame on them.

The same groups that ran these ads are new attacking me because they know that their pro-abortion mission can’t survive if people know the truth: miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and stillbirths are not abortions.

What People Are Still Getting Wrong

I never spoke to Governor DeSantis. I never spoke to anyone on his team. I received no special treatment. None. Ever.

I got treated because I was relentless. I read the law myself out loud from my phone to the doctors and administrators in that room. I asked questions. I pushed for answers. I fought for myself.

Afterward, I couldn’t stop thinking about one question: What happens to the woman who doesn’t know the law? What happens to the woman who is scared, exhausted, or too sick to fight? What happens to the woman who doesn’t have the energy to keep fighting?

That question is why I haven’t stopped talking.

The Conversation We Need To Have

The pro-abortion lobby is demanding that you stop applying logic.

They want you to believe a baby is precious and worth grieving when it’s wanted — and simultaneously a clump of cells unworthy of any protection when it’s not. Both cannot be true at the same time.

That is not a political opinion. It’s the most basic principle in all of human reasoning. Aristotle called it the principle of non-contradiction: a thing cannot both be and not be the same thing simultaneously.

They need you to abandon logic to accept their position. Don’t.

They need you to believe that a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy or a stillbirth belongs in the same conversation as elective abortions of healthy babies and moms. Their entire agenda depends on it.

Here’s the truth

To every woman who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or ectopic pregnancy: Your baby was real. Your grief is real. Your loss is real.

And no activist gets to use that pain as a political weapon.

We need a national conversation about miscarriages, stillbirths, and ectopic pregnancies — what they are, what they aren’t, and what real gaps in maternal and prenatal healthcare look like. We need real solutions. Not clickbait bullshit that does nothing to help women and babies in every corner of the country.

We need to have this conversation so we can take real action.

That’s why I am still talking. That’s why I will keep fighting. And that’s why I’m not going anywhere.

Let’s have the real conversation.
