Graham's bill "isn't going to save any [unborn children]. This is merely a message bill."

"They're not even concerned about the message they're sending," said Kiessling of D.C. pro-life groups that negotiated the bill's introduction and guided its passage through the House.

This sham bill is a fundraising scheme by Pro-Life, Inc. They know full well that this is nothing more than yet another "and then you can kill the baby" law.

Hey Graham.

Hm... ok ... so I guess it's ok to kill a 5 year old if he was the child of your rapist? Because he looks too much like your rapist and you can't deal with the mental trauma.

huh? that wouldn't be right ?

well... then what makes it right to kill him before he was born?

If it's a life, it's a life and it's just as wrong to murder him before he is born than years afterward.

He doesn’t have any chance of winning the nomination, thank goodness.

Hey, if they want to slaughter their unborn baby, it’s kind’ up to the family. That’a the kind of guy you want to be in your White House, right?

yup! the illogic of the “...except for cases of rape or incest” clause has always bothered me. the baby didn’t commit rape. the baby didn’t commit incest. if the mother can stand the thought of raising such a child, we have people waiting to adopt for such long periods of time that they started going overseas to Russia and China to find babies.

life is life. either it’s all precious or none of it is. if a life is going to be taken, there better be a good reason for it other than simple “inconvenience”.

I dont get it.

Yes the circumstances are terrible, utterly terrible.

But does that mean this kid is sub-human????

Put the child up for adoption. Let him live a full life. Killing him wont make this go away. Hell I would even be ok with tax dollars paying for the birth if that’s what it takes.

It’s barbaric to execute one person for the crime of another person.

It’s unconstitutional too.

Not that politicians like Graham care about that.

What you need to understand is that NONE of the so-called pro-life laws are about ending abortion, there's no actual proof that any of them have saved a single life.

These laws are designed to appease the pro-life community, but what they actual do is codify abortion "rights." They tell people that it's fine to kill babies, they just need to adhere to an arbitrary schedule or claim that other conditions exist.

The statement in the headline proves he is not pro-life

The real irony is...

The same lefties that demand to take the life of the innocent child of rape or incest also demand that we not execute the rapist!

The irony is that the only way the rapist can be executed is if the victim dies.

Barbaric places like North Korea is where one normally expects to find laws that punish family members for a crime.

The only “rape” Lyndsey worries about is his prison shower fantasy.

By who's authority do you, as president, have the power to leave this up to anybody Mr. Graham?

Great point... maybe we should just hold-off on the abortion thing and just wait to see if we actually like the kids, and then we can decide what to do with them. That way we don’t have to make any “rash” decisions.

A stupid comment, Lindsey.

Why not same the same for the family hunting down a rapist who attacked their child?

Come to think of it, that is exactly what is needed, some old-fashioned justice of slicing off an immoral something that went into the wrong place.

Why don’t he and Jeb just join the Dummycrat Party, since that’s exactly what they’re sounding like, and leave us alone? They’re both great dummycrats!
