Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has introduced a bill to create a federal ban on abortions at 15 weeks in an attempt to force Republicans to adopt a partywide consensus on the issue.
The move comes as Democrats have turned abortion into a rallying cry following the Supreme Court decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade. Polls have consistently shown that a majority of voters oppose the end of federal abortion protections.

I have very strong moral compunctions against abortion. But regardless of my feelings, this legislation is a clear violation of the 10th amendment. The matter simply is NOT in the Federal Government's remit to legislate. The Supreme Court made that plain in its decision earlier this year.
If Sen. Graham's bill passes you can bet real money it will be challenged by multiple attorneys general with lawsuits that they ought to win. This is clearly congressional over-reach.
This is a matter for the individual states to deal with and the Federal Government needs to butt out!
