Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced a bill that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, the most significant proposal by Republicans in Congress to curtail the procedure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade three months ago. Senate Democratic candidates immediately tried to link their Republican opponents to Graham’s bill, but the South Carolina Republican defended his legislation as a bulwark against late-term abortions.

The only thing my senator, Lindsey Graham, is consistent at being is an embarrassment to us here in SC and a disconnected elected official.

@Elden Ringer never.

His hypocrisy is so extreme that we need to invent a new word for it. It goes far beyond hypocrisy.

@jojolouis I hate that word because trump loves it.

`the hypocrisy of republicans knows no bounds and a new word could be warranted. but in my opinion we really need to start holding them accountable to the meaning of the first one….
-
We should call it “Hypokaren”…

I hope republicans learn a valuable lesson. Vote against the will of the people… and the people will vote you out.

@Jodie Thompson there is no right wing media in the country where I live and from the USAmerican media market I only consume Liberal leaning publications. Abortion is a complex moral issue and not recognising that is just immature

@acfollowJ Cor When you can 100% guarantee that pregnancy and childbirth pose absolutely NO risk to the health, life and well-being of a woman, you might have an argument. No one should be forced to use their body to keep something or someone else alive. We can’t even harvest organs after death without pre-mortem consent. Forcing women to give birth leaves them with less autonomy than a corpse. BTW, I am an adoptive mother. While I am eternally grateful that their birth mothers chose to bring them into the world, I am also thankful they were not forced to do so under the threat of a punitive law.

@Preston Pumpernickel Newsflash: Abortion has been around as long as humans first walked the earth. What is a blessing or burden is in the eye of the beholder. For starters- many women experience pregnancy and childbirth as pure hell.

@John Rhodes There was less child grooming back then, it must’ve been a problem for you.

Dems would be advised to ignore Lindsey’s bill and concentrate on the state bans. Don’t fall into the trap.

No, it’s not a federal abortion bill. It leaves the extreme positions in Republican states intact.

I don’t think a lot of people realize that this bill wouldn’t change anything in states that have or are planning to ban abortion. All it does is restrict the states that already allow abortion until viability at 24 weeks. Graham made it sound in his announcement like abortion would legal in all states until 15 weeks.
-
@Dave Waldon
Then you are definitely not smart enough to ever have kids in the first place. Im a mother, i know it’s not a baby at 15weeks. It’s a fetus, many women have miscarriages at that stage.
Do you say you’re eating chicken when you eat eggs?
Also…the person is the WOMAN or GIRL not the fetus.

He’s playing offense and defense at the same time and getting himself publicity at the same time.

Lindsey Graham – March 2022: “I hate eating apples. Apples are disgusting. They have no business being in a pie. Horrible.”
September 2022: “Apples are delicious. I eat 10 apples an hour. I almost have an orgasmic fascination with apples.”
October 2022: “I’ve been remarkably consistent on my opinion of apples.”-
I hear he prefers bananas. 😁

You know, every day, I ask, “Is it possible to hate Lindsay Graham more than I already do?” The answer is always yes. The guy flipflops more than a Pentecostal preacher! Of course, it’s easy to flipflop when a jellyfish has more of a spine than you do.

Republicans complaining about inflation need a lesson on capitalism. Supply and Demand cause the prices to rise or fall. It’s really that simple. Inflation is worldwide because of demand is higher than supply. Voting for republicans wouldn’t change anything.

Thank you for your efforts, but, they know this already, unfortunately their “work around” is to defer the higher costs to the average people by giving the companies breaks with hopes that the companies will turn around and give the average consumer a break. They have been using that one playbook since Reaganomics.

Yes we do have Roevember for women’s rights but we still have not gone far enough with civil rights yet and Trump has pushed things back many decades. It’s out there and we need to pay attention to everything that is going on so it doesn’t get out of hand again in any situation.

@JAKE SAMUAL when the child is born and no longer dependent on one specific individual to survive. Invent a pregnancy transfer machine and then we can take foetuses from women who don’t want to be pregnant and transfer them to women (or men. Why not? Guys like you and Lindsey seem very hellbent on saving the unborn and I’m sure are dying for the opportunity to experience pregnancy for yourself) who do want them. Until then, we don’t require individuals to use their bodies to save other human beings in any capacity, we don’t require organ donation or blood donation or marrow donation, we don’t require military or community service, so it makes no sense that we would require half the population to keep someone else alive (if we acknowledge that a foetus is a living thing, which sure, I can agree to that) when we don’t require that of anyone else.
