Troy, until 2013, supported such extreme positions that he would not allow for exceptions for a woman to have an abortion even if her life were at stake, or in cases of rape and incest.

Overstated

Why we checked itA specific claim about her opponent's past policy positions on abortion exceptions up to 2013, which is verifiable against public record.
What we foundJackson did hold anti-abortion positions without a life-of-the-mother exception at least through 2012, but by 2012–2013 he explicitly allowed rape and incest exceptions, making Collins's claim that he denied all three exceptions until 2013 an overstatement.
