[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excellent NPR coverage (FM 88.5) on this topic this right now …

Lindsay is a savvy devil … trying to recapture the middle
Ground as over 90% of abortions could still go ahead I. States where abortion is still legal and onus would be on democrats to argue why abortions after 15 weeks should be allowed. Public opinion only supports early abortions before 15-16 weeks. [/quote]

I listened to that in the car. The radio guest's opinion is that the only reason the right doesn't endorse Graham's plan is that they've lost so much positive coverage this summer over extreme abortion bans that they don't want to talk about it again before the midterms, even on the topic of what many see as a more "reasonable" abortion ban. I feel no one is talking about the important thing, which is protections for women and providers past 15 weeks, regarding medically-necessary abortions. A distraught mother does not need to jump through tons of hoops to get an abortion that would save her life or prevent further complications.

Graham's bill is NOT a reasonable abortion ban.

Most issues with pregancnies are not discovered until 20 weeks. Then what?

And there are still a handful of issues that develop in the third trimester. What do you do there?

I have an idea, how about we leave it between a doctor and their patient and get the federal  and state government out of it all together?

PP you replied to. Yes, my point exactly. I didn't catch the beginning of the segment, so I don't know who the guest was, but it seemed to me neither her nor the host pushed on the issues that really matter for women: saving their lives, avoiding the risk of complications because of lengthy and unnecessary delays, and having to justify to someone else what should be a very private and personal decision.
