Sen. Lindsey Graham proposes nationwide 15-week abortion ban

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham introduced legislation that would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. Molly Ball, a national political correspondent for Time, joined CBS News' John Dickerson to discuss the bill and how this issue could shape midterm elections.

Nobody should take Graham seriously until he comes out of the closet.

A month ago, Lindsey said that states should make the decision. I wonder what it is like to be so inconsistent and manipulative.

thanks for shifting votes to the left, Lindsay!

Calm down, this guy will decide what you do with your life. I'm sure this politician went to school in medicine. Oh. He didn't? I'm sure this man has been married. Oh, he wasn't? I'm sure this man has kids, oh, he doesn't? My stars, what a shocker. Well, ladies, bow down to someone who doesn't understand you at all.

This guy needs to be removed from office.

Lindsey Graham why don't you propose a national Health Care to take care of women when they do have their babies. It's total hypocrisy when you're not doing anything to help women to have health insurance to take care of these babies when they born.

How does Graham continue hanging on to his elected seat? This is a guy that has no ideas

I love how the GOP makes promises only to break them. Let the individual states decide turns into now you have to do it our way…regardless of what “the people” want.

[spzaruba]

McConnell already said this isn't going to happen. This is just Graham playing to his base.

Lindsey Graham wants to set a national law that sets a limit for 15 weeks, but allow state laws to make stricter bans.
The Republican party has lost it.

Government needs to get their beliefs out of others lives. #nogilliad ! Free will needs to be honored. Stop forcing your beliefs onto others!!!!

We need laws to control greed in politics and corporate control of our country.

Honestly you can look at him nothing needs to be said -

[merrydaye]

"Lock her up" Lindsey is spinless and amoral.

[LHnative]

I agree, women need to be held accountable too. Abortion is not a right

[patriciahogan]

Lindsey Graham's timing is never helpful for Republicans. He's just another Rhino.

[oceanjoker]

Who does he think he is? He isn't a dr. You aren't king lindsey.

[jeovanneramos]

You now he is gay?
No wife no girlfriends or any relationships you ever heard of!

Lady G needs to stick to playing the “skin flute” and leave Congress
