I think bedlamite, and many other pro-lifers would like to see a flat out abortion ban, but recognize that right now it simply won’t happen.  In January after the new Congress is sworn in, if there are sufficient majorities in both houses to pass a ban they’ll be much more ok with it.  Whereas right now, all introducing a ban will accomplish is energizing the left to vote.  Waiting in that case is actually more productive because it makes a partisan mix amenable to a ban more likely.

This isn't a flat out abortion ban.  It only starts banning abortion at 15 weeks gestation.

Most voters (barely) in a poll agree with this potential ban!

The GOP is afraid to try stopping killing of some unborn children, a move that most voters agree with!

Federal laws against abortion are perfectly constitutional.  It is right there in the 14th amendment. 

Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

The 14th was written, in part, because Democrats were allowing black Americans to be terrorized and killed.  The 14th Amendment prohibits allowing states to legalize killing of innocent people.  Ordinarily, there is no federal role in prosecuting murder cases.  When states allow innocent people to be killed, then the Federal government has a role to prevent the states from doing this.

This is exactly what most states are doing now with unborn people.

Would the Supreme Court agree with me?  No.  I am I right?  Sure, I am.  It is right there in plain English.  States can't let innocent people be killed.  And stabbing someone in the base of her skull with scissors, and sucking out her brains at seven months gestation counts as "depriving someone of life" in my book.

Just to reenforce what you said, notice it specifically says "any person", not any citizen.  (the unborn are not citizens yet)  Lindsay Graham is still not your friend for introducing this bill at this time.

You may be right, I don't know.

Graham is not a friend of anyone remotely conservative

"Person"  That's the rub.  Not everyone agrees on the start of that.  (Note: I'm stating a fact, not my belief on the beginning of personhood.  Don't @ me)

Only God himself knows when personhood is bestowed, so we have to give the proto-person benefit of the doubt.

I think he did it to show that democrats won't vote for anything but no restrictions. Several states stirred up the dem base more by going full ban before the midterms.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

I am curious just how many people that applies to.  Perhaps there were more people hit with that in past decades.

I saw Tulsi Gabbard just told the democratic party to get bent.

This is an excellent point. Repubs will tank the economy to deny a Dem president a win & keep Dems from holding the White House.

When Repubs have the White House & Congress, they enact their bad policies like tax cuts for the super rich & privatizing the social safety net.

You know, no matter what kind of response any of us come up with, it will never be funnier than the desperate *expletive deleted*it the Democrats are coming up with...

It's not funny because almost everyone in the large population centers and a lot of other people who ought to know better believe that crap.

I don't know if this is funny, but it's a reply I left on YouTube.

I hope a lot of far-left voters hear that Republicans are going to out-Herod Biden in sabotaging the economy. They'll all vote Republican at least twice.

If the other Dem media is clever enough, they'll also run with this, just to set up the narrative that whatever else goes wrong with the economy is GOP "obstruction." They will also use that to pressure Republicans into giving them bipartisan cover for the Dem agenda, next term.

And no sooner did I have that thought, than I saw a clip of Biden claiming a GOP House would make inflation worse.  ;/
