States Rights? Yeah, Right.
I thought it was about States rights?
Apparently not, according to Lindsey Graham, who is working to introduce a nationwide federal law to ban abortion past 15 weeks of pregnancy.
So much for letting the States decide.
Once upon a time, the Republican Party stood for narrowly defined laws, minimizing federal intervention in people’s lives, putting the power to legislate at the State level.
Then again, several of the Supreme Court Justices who voted to overturn Roe v Wade said at their confirmation hearings that Roe was settled law.
So don’t be surprised when the GOP starts to rally around a federal ban.
