"Following a bill approved by the House of Representatives earlier this week that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, there’s been a lot of discussion about that number. But when Arizona Rep. Trent Franks tweeted claiming that "it's science" that fetuses feel pain by 20 weeks alongside a picture of baby feet, one doctor had something important to say about that so-called "science."

Daniel Grossman, M.D. — a practicing physician, public health researcher and a professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive servies at the University of California, San Francisco — quote-tweeted Franks' claim and unleashed a brilliant thread that quickly went viral. "Hi Rep. Trent Franks. I'm a researcher and abortion provider," he tweeted. "This isn't actual science. I'd be happy to educate you about it if you like.”*
