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.

    I'm trying to understand this issue. I think originally a group of desperate women pushed for Roe v Wade and got a victory. As I understand it, RvW didn't say all states had to follow. It was up to the individual states to make that decisioin. But it was so wildly accepted that was overlooked. In the 60's a woman couldn't work past her 5th month of pregnancy at the large corporations and this caused a lot of women great misery. Also you were ostracized and labeled a slut for getting pregnant without a husband. Surely you probably slept with any man who came along. Not so! I watched their misery and grieved for some of my friends making decisions they didn't really want to make. I believe in States Rights. Many of these friends went to Mexico and in a nice hospital were able to get a safe abortion. That didn't relieve their grief. They never got over the loss of that child.

    It would seem some people would rather have illegal immigrants alive and well in the USA than our children and young people who are already here or about to be born. Are they trying to change up our population into something else?

    The biggest issue is until the GOP controls the house and senate AND the presidency this bill has ZERO chance of being anything beyond an exercise in virtue signaling. To what end is the question.

    I see no logic in Graham's bill. He knows the senate would never pass and definitely congress will not pass. The SC has already ruled it is a States' issue and not federal. So what exactly is his motive? My guess is, to raise Money. Is that not every politician's number one goal? To raise money?

    "no principals who should be voted out of office."
    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.

    it is NOT a state's rights issue
    the CHILD is ALIVE
    and should NOT be murdered
    it has done NOTHING to deserve being killed
    it is innocent

    He’s a miserable shill and goes any way he sees the political winds blow. It’s just that simple. This is a desperate move to “prove” he’s “conservative” to Trump supporters. Even after he fell all over himself to condemn 1/6. He saw what happened to Cheney. He’s a worthless piece of shit with NO SPINE and no principals who should be voted out of office.

    He appears to be a Deep State pawn who wants to derail any possible GOP majority gain in November.
