Senator Lindsey Graham proposed new national restrictions on abortion, saying he wanted to help define Republicans on an issue seen as a potential albatross for his party in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham proposed new national restrictions on abortion on Tuesday, saying he wanted to help define Republicans on an issue seen as a potential albatross for his party in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Sept. 7-12 showed that 63% of respondents said they were less likely to back candidates who support laws that ban or severely restrict abortion. "If we take back the House and the Senate, I can assure you we'll have a vote on our bill," Graham added. The bill quickly came under fire from Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who played on Graham's allegiance to Trump by branding it a "MAGA" measure, using the acronym for Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again."
