Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, criticized liberal attacks of the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade on “Sunday Night in America.”

As liberals and Democrat lawmakers warn that overturning Roe v. Wade could be removing a woman’s right to an abortion, Lee responded that the right to an abortion is not identified in the U.S. Constitution."A right is something the government can’t do to you. There is nothing in the Constitution that identifies abortion as something that’s protected by the U.S.

"That’s a different provision of the Constitution. That’s the equal protection clause. That’s something that prohibits the states from discriminating on the basis of race. It’s a totally different issue than we are discussing here. Nothing does that with regards to abortion," Lee said.He later criticized liberals for suggesting that the draft opinion could"overthrow democracy," insisting that the opposite is true.

"It’s a huge deal because the whole point of all these procedures the court has, the whole reason why the court maintains such confidentiality restrictions is because the court has exactly one opportunity at the end of each case to render a decision, and it wants to make sure by the time it releases that to the public, the nine justices knows where everyone on the court stands," Lee said.

I mean just not for women

If Sen. Mike Lee had the government regulating his penis, he would think otherwise. This is all BS, and the GOP knows it, so does Fox News.

Makes ZERO sense. Taking away Constitutional rights is never enabling democracy.

Amy Klobuchar says, adding that the Senate will do everything it can to codify federal abortion protections. Democrats haven't had to compromise on this issue because they've had federal decree buffering them for 50 years. They don't understand how to discuss abortion rationally. There won't be abortion bans. Plan B, IUDs, and abortion will remain legal but may require additional steps. They can’t find another agenda to cover Hunter Biden’s drug and cocaine use do they have to try to create another storyline!
