About this sermon
Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee traded blows over abortion rights during a hearing. Democrats and their witnesses sounded the alarm about what they said was a march to roll back women's bodily autonomy. Republicans say Democrats are on the wrong side of the issue. This is the third Senate hearing on abortion policy since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe and sent the issue back to the states. Committee Chair Democrat Dick Durbin, a Catholic called state legislation on abortion chaotic and blamed Republicans for the lack of abortion access nationwide. Durbin says, "We must respect women's rights to make their own reproductive health decisions. But the question remains will our Republican colleagues join us in this effort and support legal access to abortion and reproductive freedom." Senator Thom Tillis says, "That's coming from someone who voted on the Senate floor to compel a religious institution to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to perform an abortion on a minor without the knowledge and consent of her parents. That is an extreme position." Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says he is looking to find some common ground. Republicans also claim polls show Americans want some sort of limitations on abortions.
