The name of the bill is "Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act." Previous bills he has intro'd with similar names have banned abortion @ 20 wks of pregnancy. Text of this version is not yet available but there are reports it moves the line to 15 wks

1. Look for a PM.

5. Backatcha

[drray23]

2. proceed assholes.

That should make our messaging even easier when we point out they could ban abortion on a federal level if allowed back in power.

[SalamanderSleeps]

6. +1

[ZonkerHarris]

3. Looking forward to the list of co-sponsors and supporters of this one. Electoral targets each

and every one.

4. Doubling Down....

I guess they really want to lose in November.

Seems like an appropriate time to remind reporters that “late-term abortion” is a completely made up phrase that has no basis in medicine (which, hi, abortion is just health care). A pregnancy is “full term” from 39-40 weeks, and “late term” at 41 weeks.

Calling a 15 or 20 week abortion “late term” is another way for anti-abortion people to scare the uninformed and shame pregnant people for the decisions we make about our own bodies — so that they can get away with legislating those decisions for us. It’s about control over us.

P.S. We NEED 15- & 20-week abortion to be legal & available because these asshats have made it even harder to get access to care when & where we need it. They created the environment where more and more people need later abortions, and now they want to ban it? Absolute bullshit.

9. Do they know there's an election in November?

[durablend]

10. Or is the fix in already?

[niyad]

11. GMTA

[BigmanPigman]

12. It seems like they deliberately want to lose in Nov.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Or they've got it fixed

so they can't lose.

[Mr.Bill]

13. This will never see the Senate floor. n/t

[EnergizedLib]

15. They will abandon this

If they regain power.

The right to a benefit of the doubt disappeared eons ago with them.

[UTUSN]

16. K&R for, they'll never learn

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Because that's what the Republican Party wants.

18. My God, all they do is political theatrics

It's all for show, never about genuinely advancing or enriching American lives, only soundbites for their propaganda army to disseminate.

It's all a show. While we govern, they pose for the camera. Sickening.

[Deminpenn]

19. Agree

Rs are trying to get their base excited, but that horse left the barn with Dobbs.

The anti-abortion nuts got what they wanted with Dobbs, the ability to ban all abortions completely with no exceptions. These are single issue voters, a bill continuing to allow abortions isn't going to motivate them to vote.

[Kaleva]

20. How many Senate Repubs are supporting this?

[ananda]

21. Bring it on deathwishers!

And down you'll go.

[Kaleva]

22. Anyone have a link to a source listing the Senate R's co-sponsoring this bill?

I haven't been able to find any.

[tinrobot]

23. They do understand that women can vote

Or do they still think it is 1918?

[mainer]

24. Amniocentesis done at 15-20 weeks.

So you might not find out your fetus is abnormal until after the date you can't have an abortion.

[kentuck]

25. That means they are desperate...

...and are looking to maintain their base in the next election. They are fearful of a bloodbath.

[Hotler]

26. A bunch of mean hateful Christians trying to force their shit down our throats.

This is a religious battle.

28. We have to consistently call out the lies in the Title of this bill

This bill is only targeting states that don't have abortion restrictions. This is their play. In Republican controlled states they will let women die. Now they are targeting the states they don't control. It was never states rights. It was always Christian extremism run amok.

Text of the revised bill from Sen. Lindsey Graham R-SC on abortion. Instead of the original 20 weeks - it is now a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

And Graham's bill would only override state/local laws which allow abortion past 15 weeks. Full text of his bill at https://lgraham.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/3065785d-86b8-4d36-986a-72aa1c8f100c/protecting-pain-capable-unborn-children-from-late-term-abortions-act-.pdf…
