Lindsey Graham kicks abortion hornets' nest. Is there a logic here I'm missing?
From federalizing this issue one way (under Roe) to federalizing it Graham's way. Why not leave this as a state's right issue, and let each state voters decide the issue the way they choose instead of cramming one opinion down everyone's throat?
To McConnel's credit, he's refusing to bring this to a Senate vote.

He fits in perfectly in the con-gress.
I can only think of one or two who actually honor their oath to the constitution and Graham isn't one.
Any such law would be as unconstitutional as Roe v Wade was.
It is not and never has been the business of the federal government,
DC is an abomination.
NIFOITOWTBS.
the CHILD is ALIVE
and should NOT be murdered
it has done NOTHING to deserve being killed
it is innocent
If you are a women - don't have an abortion.
If you are a man - don't ask your woman to have an abortion.
Government steps in where personal responsibility steps out.
So at least as a state's rights issue there will be less of it and more chance for it to be representative as it should be, True right and wrong unfortunately are not the limiting factors anymore.
As the opposition said when Roe v. Wade first went through, abortion is MURDER.
Roe v. Wade existed because women wanted to engage in pre-marital sex without having to face the consequences of their actions.
In Kansas last year the far-Left Topeka Supreme Court discovered a "Right To Abortion" in the Kansas Constitution. A statewide referendum was held that said the Kansas Constitution does not say anything about abortion.
The Left, and 100% of the media (+ George Soros), marketed this as an "attack on constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms" ignoring abortion altogether (although the Left also deluged the state with sinister suspicions of abortions with unclean knives in dirty kitchens and attacks on personal privacy (My Body, My Choice).
In other words, the Left was, as usual, dishonest.
The black-robed tyrants in Topeka have abrogated yet another Human Right - the right of self-representation.
The Kansas Supreme Court also sets the school/property tax rate by claiming the amount of taxes collected is not "adequate,".not matter what amount the legislature decides to allocate.
Information they do not want you to hear.
They could have carried their child to term and put the child up for adoption.
They could have used birth control. Lots of types were available back then.
They could have kept their legs closed.
The elites believe brown people make better slaves.
With friends like that, who needs enemies.
With that said, I also strongly believe that this is something that should not be legislated, at any level but most certainly not at the Federal level. Abortion should be legal and rare. I see abortion as a necessary evil.
From a purely philosophical perspective, however, one must ask the question: if the People have the Right to Life, Liberty and Property (and the Pursuit of happiness), then by that virtue, the Declaration of Independence right there codifies a right to Life and as such should outlaw abortion on demand. Through the application of the Supremacy Clause, it would render the matter over and decided at the Federal level rather than at a State level. The only caveat - which would be played out at a State level - would be which exemptions (rape, incest, life of mother, etc.) - if any - were allowed. So in that respect, I can see a case for making it a Federal discussion. What I can't see is anything which upholds the Declaration of Independence and still claims an unfettered right to elective abortion.
Now this... Confirms it!
