But let’s not overlook what happened on the other side of Capitol Hill. AxiosSen. Lindsey Graham dredged up the abortion conversation for Republicans on Tuesday by introducing the 15-week ban, despite saying as recently as last month that the issue should be left to the states. A group of 88 House members, led by Rep. Chris Smith and other co-chairs of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, introduced a companion bill.
It generated less attention, but as Graham unveiled his bill, New Jersey’s Chris Smith did the same thing in the House. It appears to be the same bill, with the same name, pursuing the same goal: a federal 15-week ban.In the upper chamber, Republicans have been far more willing to criticize Graham’s bill than endorse it. As of this morning,GOP senators have signed on as co-sponsors, and no one from the Senate leadership has formally backed the legislation.
Graham was noticeably short on like-minded allies in the Senate this week, but in the House, the idea of a national abortion ban appears to be quite popular among Republican lawmakers. As Democrats tell voters that the GOP supports an abortion ban at the federal level, some Republicans will point to Senate skepticism as proof to the contrary.
