South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s fellow Republicans appeared to be largely surprised by his announcement Tuesday of a federal 15-week abortion ban, with many members of his party distancing themselves from the proposal.
, Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia, said he would back the bill: "I am a proud pro-life Christian, and I will always stand up for our unborn children. I believe the issue should be decided at the state level, but I WOULD support this policy."
"Republicans in Congress are focused on taking rights away from millions of women," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Tuesday following Graham's press conference. "The President and Vice President are fighting for progress, while Republicans are fighting to take us back."
"There are those in the party but think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before," Pelosi added. "And these people are in defiance of that, right? They're in defiance of that, because they're saying whatever they're saying ... but we are united in our support for women's right to choose."
Washington Sen. Patty Murray, a staunch defender of abortion rights, said Republicans “want to force” women to stay pregnant and deliver babies.
