The National Review recently published an op-ed by anti-abortionist Senator Ted Cruz and Live Action founder Lila Rose titled "The Federal Government Must Stop the Deadly Abortion Pill."

The piece was riddled with factual inaccuracies and misinformation.

Dr. Daniel Grossman, a researcher well known for his work on abortion medicine and contraceptives, decided to give the article a much-needed fact check on Twitter.

Grossman started by retitling the article "The Federal Government Must Increase Access to the Abortion Pill."



It seems Cruz and Rose couldn't make it through a paragraph without misleading their readers.



It's got to pretty hard to get this many things wrong in one paper.



Hopefully Ted Cruz doesn't bring this same level of understanding to his job as a Senator.



Hopefully plenty of people who read the Review's article also managed to catch Grossman's correction.



This incident serves as a reminder of how anyone, even sitting U.S. Senators, can weaponize misinformation.



Grossman's thread continued long after most reasonable people probably made up their minds about the validity of the article.



Women deserve to have their medicine reported in an accurate and unbiased way.

Twitter was extremely grateful to Grossman for weighing in on the article.



Who knows—perhaps, before long, Cruz and Rose will issue a new edition of their article with corrections! Only time will tell.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

When Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor in June, Republicans and some old school Democrats were positively apoplectic.

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
