Late US Senator’s Daughter’s Theory About Abortions Gets Debunked By An Actual Doctor

ADVERTISEMENT

TV’s The View panelist Meghan McCain is accustomed to being the black sheep of her less conservative co-workers – but this week she got called out offstage. The host tweeted out a conspiracy theory about ‘late-term’ abortions, the source of which is unclear – and an OB/GYN was happy to correct her.

Dr. Daniel Grossman is an OB/GYN and abortion provider, so unsurprisingly he is very well versed on the topic and graciously went about fact-checking McCain in a series of tweets. The doctor not only debunked her fake statistics and provided accurate ones, but even explained the reasons why patients have the procedure after 20 weeks. Scroll down below to read McCain’s tweet and this OB/GYN’s in-depth response!

Apologies to all. I understand the importance of this issue to everyone. But, I come to Bored Panda for relief from the struggle, whether for or against. I may be in the minority, but I need this vacation from all the heavy, important issues that are being argued and fought over in the world at large, including this one. Please, can we bring BP back to being an oasis from the woes we can see everywhere else on the web?
