Amid efforts by Republican candidates nationwide to attempt a tactical retreat from their party's extremist anti- choice position, one Senator let it be known what the party's intent would be should they capture the House and Senate:
Sen.
Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday introduced a bill that would ban
abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy nationwide, the most prominent
effort by Republicans to restrict the procedure since the Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade in June.
“I think we should have a
law at the federal level that would say, after 15 weeks, no abortion on
demand except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the
mother,” Graham said at a news conference. “And that should be where
America is at.”
No, it "shouldn't be" where America is at, Huckleberry. It's not anywhere near where America is at now.
Should they gain control of the House and Senate, what constraints would Republicans feel about catering to their extremist anti- choice base? Look at the laws they're passing in Republican state after state. Why would they temper their desire to see a more restrictive nationwide abortion law (though such a law would be vetoed as long as a Democrat is in the White House, a situation they hope to remedy in 2024)?
They didn't want you to know that's their plan because they can read the polls. But, when Republicans tell you who they are, believe them.
