An OB/GYN has rushed to correct Meghan McCain with a detailed rebuttal after the co-host of The View tweets some misinformation about abortion.

The 34-year-old was tweeting in response to New York's Reproductive Health Act (RHA), which expands abortion access in the state.

Coming out against the law, she claimed that the US was only seven countries in the world that allow abortions after 20 weeks — which, as Dr. Daniel Grossman, is patently untrue.

Anti: Meghan McCain spoke out against New York's Reproductive Health Act, which expands abortion access in the state

Throwing out stats: She falsely claimed that the US is one of only seven countries worldwide that allow abortions after 20 weeks

She wrote: ''It is a battleground culture war issue, as we see in New York, where the Democratic standard is abortion on demand, taxpayer funded, and if you don't like it, leave'

Meghan is one of many people sharing her reactions to the RHA.

People have been especially reactive to one provision in particular, which allows abortions after 24 weeks (about five and a half months) in cases where there's an 'absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient's life or health.'

In other words, later abortions in pregnancies where the fetus has died or won't be compatible with life, or the mother's health or life is threatened by the pregnancy.

Critics who oppose the new law take issue with allowing for abortions that late in the pregnancy, even in those extreme circumstances.

Meghan is one of them. On January 29, she tweeted: 'We are one of only seven nations in the world, along with North Korea and China, to allow abortion on demand after 20 weeks.

'Our existing law is extreme, and as a pro-life American, I cannot support anyone who supports it.

'It is a battleground culture war issue, as we see in New York, where the Democratic standard is abortion on demand, taxpayer funded, and if you don't like it, leave. True leaders don't play pretend about our divisions. They lead.'

Dr. Daniel Grossman responded that she was wrong that the US is an outlier, and in fact 65 countries allow abortion at this stage in cases of fetal malformations or anomalies

Meghan's tweet earned plenty of replies, including one from a California-based OB/GYN on January 1.

Dr. Daniel Grossman, a clinical and public health researcher on abortion and contraception and a faculty member at the UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, shared a series of seven tweets, in which he corrected Meghan and imparted some information.

'Hi @MeghanMcCain. I am an OB/GYN, abortion provider & researcher. I'd like to clarify some facts,' he wrote.

'65 countries allow abortion at this stage in cases of fetal malformations or anomalies,' he added, citing Reproductive Health Matters, a scholarly journal.

So whereas Meghan claimed the US was in a minority of just seven, Dr. Grossman pointed out that in actuality, 65 countries allow for this.

'The US doesn't have access to early abortion like many countries do,' he went on.

'From your tweet, you suggest that you don't want the US to be a global outlier on abortion policy. Did you know that 78% of high-income countries provide public funding for abortion, making the US an outlier?

Argument: He listed reasons women get abortions after 20 weeks, including complications and health problems

'There are many reasons why patients have abortions after 20 weeks; complications happen as the pregnancy progresses, my patient's health is impacted, and we perform tests to make sure the fetus is healthy. This is why this decision is made based on medical advice, not politics,' he wrote.

'Additionally, I see patients who need abortions after 20 weeks because the restrictions to abortion made it difficult for them to get care earlier. Everything from medically unnecessary waiting periods and ultrasound laws to shuttering of clinics and insurance bans create delays,' he went on.

'In fact, we found that there was an increase in second and third trimester abortions because of the laws in Texas (which were later found unconstitutional) that made access to first trimester abortions difficult,' he said, linking to a graph on the matter.

'Whether or not we ourselves would have a later abortion is not the question. The question is whether or not we're able to show empathy for the patient making that decision. It's my job as a doctor to support my patients in making the decisions that are best for their situation.

'When we have this debate, we must center the patients in the conversation, and use evidence-based research and facts to inform policy.

'I'd be more than happy to come on @TheView and talk to you about this and share more of the research and facts about abortion. Let's talk!' he signed off.

Hitting back: He said people have had abortions later because restrictions made it hard to get them earlier

Meghan seemed to be referencing a statistic put forward by several Republican Senators in 2015.

'The United States is only one of seven nations in the world that allows late-term abortions after a baby in utero is a viable human being. We are right there alongside the great defenders of human rights such as China, North Korea and Vietnam,' John Cornyn of Texas of Texas said on the Senate floor at the time.

Sen. David Perdue of Georgia and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky repeated the claim.

However, many more countries have made exceptions to abortion rules in special circumstances, like to preserve the health of the mother.

These countries include Canada, Israel, New Zealand, India, Japan, Paraguay, Afghanistan, Uganda, the Netherlands, and Singapore.

And Dr. Grossman's argument, which has received thousands of likes, is one that is made often by those who are in favor of what have become to be called 'late term abortions'.

He and other OB/GYNs have pointed out that women getting abortions later in pregnancy aren't doing so because they suddenly decided, five months in, that they no longer want to be pregnant.

Rather, it is often a heartbreaking decision would-be parents make when they learn about fetal abnormalities and health issues from later ultrasounds and testing, or when the mother's life is put in danger.

One provision of the new law allows abortions after 24 weeks in cases where there's an 'absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient's life or health'

In 2018, a mother told The Cut about paying $17,000 to get an abortion seven months into third pregnancy.

The woman, named Tara, has two uteruses next to each other and both of her pregnancies were on the right side, but her third was on the left side.

Twenty-two weeks into her pregnancy, Tara's doctor noticed that the fetus' head was small, and at 28 weeks, more tests confirmed there was a problem.

After being told that if she carried to term, her baby would likely never be able to breathe on his own, see, or reach for objects, she resolved to have an abortion.

She and her husband traveled to a clinic in Colorado where the procedure took place over the course of four days.
