Trump rips Lindsey Graham After Critique of Abortion Stance
Former President Donald Trump criticized Senator Lindsey Graham on Truth Social for opposing Trump's stance on abortion, accusing Graham of helping Democrats by advocating for a federal ban on most abortions after 15 weeks.
Trump, in his statement, urged Graham to focus more on issues like border security and ending wars, rather than pushing for abortion restrictions that Trump believes should be decided at the state level.
Trump also suggested that Democrats are benefiting from Graham's position, as they prefer the abortion issue to remain unresolved for political reasons.
Graham, on the other hand, has been persistent in his call for federal legislation to restrict abortion, even after Trump's criticism. He argues that abortion is not just a states' rights issue and emphasizes the pro-life movement's concern for unborn children's well-being.
Graham plans to introduce a bill providing anesthesia to unborn children facing abortion at fifteen weeks, citing the scientific consensus that such fetuses can feel pain.
He also points out that many European countries have similar abortion restrictions, indicating that limiting abortions at this stage is in line with international norms.
