Sen Lindsey Graham’s latest comments on his proposed national law banning abortion after 15 weeks will do little to dispel accusations of hypocrisy from his critics.
The South Carolina senator went on Fox News to discuss his proposal, which forbids the practice of abortion just into the second trimester except in cases of rape, incest and when necessary to protect the life of the mother. But Mr Graham has been hammered by not just Democrats but his fellow Republicans as well over why he suddenly believes abortion rights should be legislated at the federal level when he was clearly opposed to that idea just a few weeks ago.
