Hypocrisy In Action

One of the talking points for Republicans in seeking to overturn Roe V. Wade was that the issue of abortion should be left to the states.  

In the aftermath of the actual overturning of Roe V. Wade, states have been running full tilt to see who can restrict or ban abortion faster. 

But apparently states are moving too slow for Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who introduced a bill to institute a nationwide ban on abortion. 

The operative word there is "nationwide". 

Republican hypocrisy in action!

After years and years of seeking to undermine Roe V. Wade by casting the issue of abortion as a matter for the states, Graham introduces a bill to set restrictions on abortion at a national level beyond state control. 

Among those happiest with Graham's move to further restrict a woman's control over her own body are Democrats which just lights more of a fire for their constituency to come out and frickin' vote in this fall's mid-term elections.  

Graham's legislation has no chance in the current Congress of going anywhere but if the Republicans gain control of the House and the Senate this fall, such further restrictions could pass and become the law of the land.   

Republicans are split. There are those who already see their party on the wrong side of a losing issue this November and quite frankly do not know why Graham is making a bad situation worse.

But there are those who see this as a galvanizing effort to the re-energize the evangelical Christian base who got what they wanted with Roe V. Wade overturned. Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet!
