Lindsay Graham introduced a 15-week abortion ban in the Senate. Let me be clear: a proposed 15-week ban is just another attempt to ban abortions altogether, and I will do everything in my power to stop that from happening.
This week, Lindsay Graham introduced a 15-week abortion ban in the Senate. Let me be clear: a proposed 15-week ban is just another attempt to ban abortions altogether, and I will do everything in my power to stop that from happening.
We need organizations like Planned Parenthood out in full force educating people about the reality of abortion procedures and how this extreme stance puts so many people, in particular Black women, trans and nonbinary people, and poor families, in danger.
With abortion bans like the proposed one in place, those who have complications from pregnancies may have to wait for life-saving treatment – something that’s already happening in states like Texas.
We cannot and will not go backward. Abortion is a safe and normal procedure that families seek out for myriad reasons – but Lindsay Graham wants to ban it because of… Iran.
