About this sermon
There is continued reaction over South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's proposed 15-week abortion ban. The senator says he hopes to unite the Republican party before the midterm elections. Pro-life organizations are praising Senator Graham's efforts. Although it is not a total ban on abortion from conception, groups say the legislation is a good place to start. Senator Graham says, "I have chosen to craft legislation that I think is eminently reasonable in the eyes of the world, and I hope with the American people. At 15 weeks pretty much a strong majority of Americans believe abortion should be the exception, not the rule." The senator's proposal is a stark reversal from just weeks ago, when top Republicans including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled they were unlikely to pursue a nationwide abortion ban. And Democrats say the plan goes too far. Senator Chuck Schumer stated, "What Senator Graham is introducing is a MAGA Republican nationwide abortion ban. If it walks like a nationwide abortion ban, if it talks likes a nationwide abortion ban, it is a nationwide abortion ban." Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports.
