Lindsey Graham's abortion insult about Iran literally makes no sense (via thereidout Blog)
The South Carolina Republican, a longtime war hawk, is ever eager to paint Iran as an illiberal hellscape. But his comparison Tuesday was particularly rich.
The problem there is that the Iranian government’s stance on abortion mirrors many Republicans’ view on the procedure, despite Graham’s effort to otherize the Middle Eastern country. Iran’s governmentthat effectively ban all abortions except in cases in which the mother’s health is endangered. But even that determination is largely left to a panel of health care bureaucrats. And the potential punishment for undergoing an unauthorized abortion could be as severe as death.
