Sen. Lindsey Graham proposes a federal 15-week abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest or if the life of the mother is at risk.
PUBLISHED 12:45 PM EDT Sep. 13, 2022As some Republicans have attempted to move away from the issue of abortion ahead of the midterms, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., introduced a 15-week nationwide abortion ban on Tuesday, which contains exceptions for rape, incest, or if the procedure is necessary to save the life of the mother
Graham made the announcement alongside Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and other advocates who oppose the procedure. "If we take back the House and the Senate, I can assure you we’ll have a vote on our bill," Graham said. "If the Democrats are in charge, I don’t know if we’ll ever have a vote on our bill."
Despite the bill's long odds, the announcement still raised alarm among Democrats and abortion rights advocates. "I've been consistent — I think states should decide the issue of marriage and states should decide the issue of abortion," Graham said on CNN in June.
