Republican party leaders did not immediately embrace the bill, which would prohibit the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy with rare exceptions, and has almost no chance of becoming law in the Democratic-held Congress.

The sudden turn of events comes in a razor-tight election season as Republicans hoping to seize control of Congress are struggling to recapture momentum, particularly after the Supreme Court's landmark decision sparked deep concerns among some voters, with signs of women voters peeling away from the GOP.

"This bill is wildly out of step with what Americans believe," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in a statement. The Republican bill would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy, expect in cases of rape, incest or risks to the physical health of the mother. Graham said it would put the U.S. on par with many other countries in Europe and around the world.People protest in response to the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling in front of the U.S. Supreme Court on June 24, 2022 in Washington, DC.

"I think every Republican senator running this year in these contested races has an answer as to how they feel about the issue," McConnell said. "So I leave it up to our candidates who are quite capable of handling this issue to determine for them what their response is." Her Republican opponent, Adam Laxalt, has during his campaign insisted that abortion is protected in the state constitution, which it would no longer be under this bill.

His opponent in Colorado, Republican Senate hopeful Joe O’Dea, who supports putting abortion access that had been guaranteed under Roe vs. Wade into law, agreed, in part: "A Republican ban is as reckless and tone deaf as is Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer’s hostility to considering any compromise on late term abortion, parental notification or conscience protections for religious hospitals."

That’s on par with every other western country but as usual democrats not really interested because this is what all their campaigns depend on. They could care less about women’s rights

Q13 supports the killing of unborn American babies….While they support the border being wide open They are the enemy of the people

Its dead on arrival.

More Republicans throwing the election bc they know trump is dangerous.

“Almost no chance…” HILARIOUS!

Remember when Lindsey Graham said abortion rights should be up to the states?
