This image from video provided by Faces of Choice, shows Miriam "Penny" Hopper. During last week's GOP presidential debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dodged a question about a federal abortion ban by telling a story about Penny, a woman he knew, who he claimed survived despite multiple abortion attempts. The Associated Press has since found that while the woman he referenced is real, her story from the 1950s is far more nuanced than DeSantis made it sound and is not the only account of her birth.
