'It’s a freedom issue but it’s also a kitchen table issue for America’s working families,' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticizing Lindsey Graham’s proposed ban on abortions after 15 weeks.
— House Speaker Nancy Pelosi House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday criticized what she called “the extreme MAGA Republicans” who have unveiled a bill to ban abortions after 15 weeks, saying it would directly impact working Americans.
Graham has previously introduced similar legislation. A previous iteration introduced last year by him and Smith would have criminalized doctors performing abortions after 20 weeks — that proposal gained 218 Republican co-sponsors in total. Democrats nationwide have tried to use abortion as a wedge issue since the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, and some expressed optimism that Graham’s bill will fuel pro-abortion rights voters to the polls in November.
“My state, today, is working on this,” Capito said. “I’m not sure what he’s thinking here. But I don’t think there will be a rallying around that concept.”
