WASHINGTON — Republicans from Georgia and other states are sending mixed messages on abortion, both claiming the issue should be left up to states while supporting a new federal ban.
U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter, Andrew Clyde, Jody Hice, Barry Loudermilk and Austin Scott are all co-sponsors of the House version of legislation South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham proposed to restrict abortion access after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Hice, a Greensboro Republican, said in an email to constituents last week that he was “proud” to co-sponsor the bill.
