Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he would not lift the filibuster to clear the way for Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) proposal to restrict abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, The Guardian reports. Democrats are looking at Graham’s proposed legislation, which would criminalize doctors providing abortions, as a “gift” for the November midterms; a Pew Research poll finds 57% of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
The White House says the bill would be “wildly out of step with what Americans believe.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosoi (D-CA) called Graham’s bill “the latest, clearest signal of extreme MAGA Republicans’ intent to criminalize women’s health freedom in all 50 states and arrest doctors for providing basic care.”
