Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced a bill to ban most abortions in every state starting at 15 weeks of pregnancy.
While the title of Graham's bill suggests it would bar only"late-term" abortions, it would restrict the procedure nationwide after less than four months of pregnancy, a threshold that falls within the second trimester.
In the June ruling Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the high court by a 5-4 margin struck down Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, another case upholding abortion rights. The ruling, by a court that had grown much more conservative after the appointment of three of former PresidentNumerous Republican-leaning states immediately moved to, while many Democratic leaders have sought to enshrine protections for the procedure.
At the 15-week mark, Graham said, the fetus has developed enough to feel pain from an abortion. After that point, his bill would allow no abortions except in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother."And that should be where America's at," the senator said.
