In the Montana Senate race, Senator Jon Tester accused his Republican challenger Tim Sheehy of supporting a no-exceptions ban on abortion in a Facebook ad. Sheehy has actually voiced support for exceptions like rape, incest, and saving the life of the mother. While Sheehy has stated he supports letting states decide abortion regulations, the ad by Tester’s campaign fails to acknowledge Sheehy’s stance on exceptions. The ad mischaracterizes Sheehy’s position on abortion and gives a misleading impression, leading to a Mostly False rating from PolitiFact. Tester’s campaign is using this issue in a tight race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate.
