"His bill also includes criminal penalties for doctors who perform abortions, including up to five years in prison."

Folks, GOP wants to put doctors in jail.

Again, please vote wisely in a few weeks.

You have an issue with someone breaking a law being penalized?

Do explain.

Do you also sympathize with rapists who rape? Think they should have no legal consequences?

Do you honestly think it has any chance in a Dem controlled Congress ?

The other Republicans don't even like his bill.

Maybe if you were more informed about this you wouldn't be preaching "vote Dem".

It took only hours Tuesday for fellow Republicans to trash Sen. Lindsey Graham's bill to ban abortion after 15 weeks nationwide.

All of that notwithstanding, this is a stunningly stupid political move. It makes Republicans look inconsistent and will also anger the pro-abortion crowd for absolutely no reason since it has zero chance of becoming law. Finally, what Graham is proposing is blatantly un-Constitutional. Its as if he is intentionally trying to **** off everyone simultaneously.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.

The Republicans kept saying abortion should be left to the sates, then Sen Graham has to go and make this absolutely stupid move.

So you are ok with terminating the life of an unborn child simply because you elect not to continue with the pregnancy even at the very last days in the third trimester? Wow.

No.

The combo has a much bigger market share globally.

And in the US, the mini pill only has 10% of the market.

And no, they have a very similar success rate. There are studies that show that the combo pill is slightly higher.

I've heard diehards argue that even if the baby is born, fully out of the body, as long as the umbilical cord is still attached, the mother has every right to kill it because it is still "her body."

I wish I could say that was a sick joke, but no. Some believe that.

I don't know any woman or doctor who would terminate a perfectly healthy baby in the last days before birth. Most people are more responsible than that.

McConnell went on record to reporters that this proposal by Graham is a non-starter, their intent is for states to make their own laws.

It doesn't happen, it's a fabrication by the religious right. These lies keep getting repeated.
