In 1970, when New York state legalized abortion, 13 Republican state senators voted in favor of it. At the time, Republicans controlled the Senate, Assembly, and the governor's office. https://t.co/D0DrTyyTFJ — PolitiTweet.org

On a 51-49 vote, Senate Democrats previously failed to advance legislation intended to protect abortion access nationwide. Without 60 votes, a minority of senators can filibuster any proposal. https://t.co/j2rjKTO3Tx — PolitiTweet.org

After Roe, deaths from illegal abortions plummeted to few, if any, in most years since the decision. Mortality rates for legal abortions also declined. https://t.co/tFKyn6zlui — PolitiTweet.org

Congress' bipartisan gun bill does not implement a federal "red flag" law. States can get funding to implement their laws if they include provisions that protect due process. https://t.co/cNle3o7E9N — PolitiTweet.org

As Nevada's attorney general, GOP Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt supported efforts that would have restricted access to birth control. We did not find statements since 2018 from him about it. https://t.co/BpQpT5qGyp — PolitiTweet.org

Access to abortion will be highly uneven across the U.S. with the Supreme Court overturning Roe. State officials from conservative states said they'd move quickly to restrict abortion, while in other states officials pledged to keep the right to access. https://t.co/uzO9knGfCh — PolitiTweet.org

A tweet claimed research suggests 15% of abortions are coerced based on a survey of 1,000 women in the U.K. The women in the study did not confirm whether they got an abortion or not. #AbortionFactCheckProject https://t.co/VAWnPpmhKV — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, the abortion pill became the mostly commonly used form of abortion for the first time in the U.S. If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court, states may enact bans on abortion including it. https://t.co/rYzlFp4AlG — PolitiTweet.org
