Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Sep 13, 2022 / 14:00 pm South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation Tuesday that would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger.
The Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act is an updated version of Graham’s previous 20-week federal ban.
Speaking at a press conference alongside members of several national pro-life groups Sept. 13, Graham said the legislation was designed to “get America in a position at the federal level that’s fairly consistent with the rest of the world.”
Forty-seven out of 50 European countries have bans on abortions before 15 weeks. France, for example, bans abortions beginning at 12 weeks.
“This act provides the bare minimum protections for vulnerable unborn children,” Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life, said at the conference. Mancini added that the United States ranks with North Korea and China in allowing “gruesome, late-term elective abortion[s].”

Give the States some time to work through this.
Why ? They know it goes no where and only hurts us right now.
What is wrong with these people?
Linda Graham doing his best to support DemocRATS by distracting from inflation and other economic issues and attempt to MOTIVATE DEMOCRAT VOTERS.
What a devious little despicable creature.
“Thanks, graham. Those videos of you and young boys stay in the vault for another year.”
~ Schumer
Politics as usual 15 weeks is a more liberal law than France where it’s 14 weeks, Spain where it’s 14 weeks and Hungary in most cases it’s 12 weeks.
Weeks?
Ronald Reagan said rape, incest or the life of the mother the abortion exceptions with no “weeks” formula.
Where did the GOP governors like Tate Reeves in MS get this “weeks” formula that 15-week law down in Mississippi?
Whatever now a Washington RINO pushes it.
Looks like they borrowed from liberal European countries and made it even more liberal.
Five Supreme Court justices said let the states decide and that’s good. No need to feds to get involved other than these federal GOP RINO’s want votes in November.
Hey Linda, in case you’ve had your head up your ass for the past year, abortion is now a states issue. Stop whoring attention.
“ Give the States some time to work through this.”
Eh. No. This is about the rinos - democrats In republican clothing- striving to secure dem majority in November.
They put out the image of republicans forcing the whole country to bow to their will
That’s not Republican it is certainly not conservative
It is sabotage.
This is not a national issue and any senator who doesn’t remind people it’s a state issue is incompetent
Sabotage. The GOPe trying to kill any chance for a red wave
**What is wrong with these people?**
They would rather have a dem than Trump
I would like to know where the anti America attitude is going.
The Martha’s Vinyard folks didn’t care about illegals till they moved into their front yard.
..they are fine with commie dems gov.. just keep the good man out.. he spoils our corrupt pit of elitism.
An early October surprise to abort the red wave.
We got Linda Grahamnesty on one side and 87,000 new IRS cockroaches on the other, hey feds just leave us the hell alone!
A boy can dream...
Goober throwing a lifeline to his fellow Deep State buddies in the Democrat Party.
I agree.
The argument by conservatives for SCOTUS’s ruling was it should be up to the states and this idiot Grahamnisty brings it back to the Feds.
Lordy.
More STUPID GOPe nonsense.
They’re as bad or worse than the Decrepit Dems.
It is a state right not federal
And yet how many will be manipulated by this grotesque pandering?
The Democrats want total no limit abortion, where is their Bill?
The 12 to 15 weeks is something most could live with except those at extreme ends of the issue. To take this issue off the table once and for all it may the only compromise to make.
“Sabotage. The GOPe trying to kill any chance for a red wave”
The red wave wasn’t going to happen after the Supreme Court abortion ruling.
Add in Mitch McConnell being an anti MAGA POS and you have the ‘perfect storm’ to mitigate the democrats losses.
The female pro abortion kamikazes are all fueled up & ready to go.
