About this sermon
The abortion issue remains at the forefront of national debate following the Alabama Supreme Court's decision on frozen embryos. Some pro-life lawmakers who have been leading the charge to limit abortions are ramping up their efforts. Shortly after the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022, the pro-life movement moved into high gear with lawmakers moving to limit abortions. Back then, Senator Lindsey Graham announced he was proposing a bill to ban abortion after 15 weeks. Senator Graham said, "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 bill failed to gain traction in part because of the mid-term elections. Now, Senator Graham says he's going to re-introduce the exact same bill once again. The bill leaves in place state laws that are more protective of unborn life, prohibit doctors from performing abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and it includes exceptions for rape, incest or risks to a mother's life.
