Views on abortion are intensely personal, and often paradoxical. Complicating matters further, poll results on abortion can vary significantly depending on how the pollster frames and asks the question. https://t.co/6hriFj2zYI — PolitiTweet.org

16 Republican-controlled states have passed laws imposing jail sentences on doctors who violate abortion laws. This includes states that have passed "trigger" laws that would go into effect if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/6B2fV8LD2h — PolitiTweet.org

Over a dozen Republican-controlled states have passed abortion laws that permit jail sentences for doctors. 45 Republicans in the U.S. Senate sponsored or co-sponsored a bill that would impose a prison sentence of up to five years. https://t.co/e0sEKQIH8h — PolitiTweet.org

No federal law clearly prohibits someone with legal access to a draft Supreme Court opinion, such as a justice or clerk, from leaking that document to the press. The leaker would likely face professional consequences, including firing. https://t.co/SC03sonVCF — PolitiTweet.org

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said "almost 60%" of student loan debt" is graduate school debt. He’s got it backward. About 60% of outstanding student loan debt came from undergraduate school, according to a 2017 analysis from the Congressional Budget Office. https://t.co/mwtKemhyn2 — PolitiTweet.org

"Assuming that all student loans in a household are graduate school debt if anybody in the household has a graduate degree significantly overstates the amount of graduate school debt," Mark Kantrowitz, a student loan expert, told PolitiFact. https://t.co/LLMOBSvJpL — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

Many households have undergraduate debt even though someone in the household also has a graduate degree. It doesn't mean that all the debt held was spent on graduate school. — PolitiTweet.org

The difference between the statistic used in that article and what DeSantis said is that the figure didn't distinguish between student loans borrowed for undergraduate or graduate school. — PolitiTweet.org

PolitiFact @PolitiFact

When we asked DeSantis about his claim, his press secretary referenced an article from the Poynter Institute (which owns PolitiFact). The article cited the Brookings Institution, which said, "56% of the outstanding student debt is owed by households that hold graduate degrees." — PolitiTweet.org

The Satanic Temple, recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt church, created a “Satanic Abortion Ritual” it says exempts members from state abortion restrictions. While the temple has fought for abortion rights in court, thus far it hasn’t been successful. https://t.co/KPowKZ1jVU — PolitiTweet.org
