Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday expressed confidence that the public would support his 15-week federal abortion ban proposal but acknowledged it does not have the votes to pass the Senate.
“I’m pro-life, even in an election year,” Graham told “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream.
“I am confident the American people would accept a national ban on abortion at 15 weeks,” Graham said. “And to those who suggest that being pro-life is losing politics, I reject that.”
The South Carolina Republican on Tuesday introduced a bill that would prohibit abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy nationwide, carving out exceptions for rape, incest and when the mother’s life is in danger.
The move has attracted criticism from some in his own party, who expressed a desire to leave abortion legislation to states after the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in June.

Effing gay idiot. It has zero chance of passing or being signed by Biden. So all he will be accomplishing is democrats increased turnout. Traitor.
I’m confident Linda is light in the loafers.
The legislation has no chance of passing and abortion bans and restrictions are being passed in red states anyway. So, yes, it obvious that this is an attempt to sabotage a red wave in the mid-terms.
No, if given the choice I believe most Americans would oppose any Federal legislation on abortion. The Constitution has it right!!!
It’s a STATE’S ISSUE now moron. The only reason he’s doing this is to stir up sh*t and help dems because Lindsey doesn’t want to be on the winning team. He’s fine fund raising as a loser.
Graham is trying to tame the red wave.
Tame???
You mean defeat the red wave, FRiend. That’s always his (and, the DC cabal’s like Mitch, Mitt, etc) goal.
Just ignore him and keep working state by state. If he’s right about an abortion ban, it will become obvious soon. The SCOTUS just got through saying this is a state issue, weren’t you listening, Linda?
No one’s talking about Little Lindsay, so he had to say something to get attention!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
The state legislature couldn’t do worse!
Linsay is a Scum bag.
This stupid asshole has no clue.
They just gave the abortion issue back to the states where it belongs and now the idiot wants to go the opposite direction and have the SCOTUS strike that one down also?
WTF is wrong with this idiot?
Linda is going after Trump ..
This Rat demon trying to stop the Red Wave and then BLAME Trump for it .
Pure Treason .
I honestly despise this POS!! We really NEED to be rid of this neocon backstabbing BASTARD!! This POS is doing EVERYTHING possible to make sure MAGA candidates don’t get anywhere near the good old boys club!! McConnell also pulled all funding from Blake Masters, I am hoping that MAGA base can replace that measly 8 million with MORE money for Blake!! If 8 million of us chipped in 10 bucks Blake would have 80 million SUCK ON THAT McConnell!!
.
100%
He’ll have zero interest post Election.
He said last week it wouldn’t pass.
.
THE ANSWER IS NO !!

If you don’t think this guy is reporting back at night to Joe Biden, you haven’t been paying attention.
Yep. The whole thing is Miss Lindsey trying to sabotage the election.
Ironically I talked to my extremely liberal niece this morning, very pro choice. She said, “you do realize he just re-opened a huge can of worms for the Republicans”. In speaking about her pro choice groups, they are mortified that this is exactly what they knew would happen, and Lindsey has probably given them and independents every reason to vote against Republicans. Of course, she is very grateful to him.
