Graham's abortion ban stuns Senate GOP​


Lindsey Graham’s anti-abortion legislation once unified the Republican Party. The 15-week abortion ban he pitched Tuesday had the exact opposite effect.

The South Carolina senator chose a uniquely tense moment to unveil his party’s first bill limiting abortion access since this summer’s watershed reversal of Roe v. Wade. It was designed as a nod to anti-abortion activists who have never felt more emboldened. Yet Graham’s bill also attempted to skate past a Republican Party that’s divided over whether Congress should even be legislating on abortion after the Supreme Court struck down a nationwide right to terminate pregnancies.


Remember when Repubs dismissed the notion, after Roe was overturned, that the next step was going to be trying to pass a national abortion ban? Taking away a state's right to make its own abortion policy Repubs said they favored.

Senate Republicans are setting into motion their plans for a national abortion ban in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced a bill that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy based on the unproven claim that fetuses can feel pain at that point in development. It includes exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the pregnant person.

The proposal is stricter than versions of the bill Graham has previously introduced, which would have banned abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and goes further than many existing state restrictions on abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 44 states ban abortion after a certain point in pregnancy, most after about 20 weeks since the pregnant person’s last menstrual period.

So what if the unborn can feel pain?. You would still want them aborted

In fact, what if we were to make you comfortably numb and take your life?

Your post lacks internal consistency. Your first sentence is:

Lindsey Graham’s anti-abortion legislation once unified the Republican Party.

Your last sentence is:

Remember when Repubs dismissed the notion, after Roe was overturned, that the next step was going to be trying to pass a national abortion ban?

So which is it? Do you remember that the GOP was united behind Graham's federal anti-abortion legislation or that they denied that they would implement a national ban on abortion if Roe was overturned?
