Graham says since the Supreme COurt overturned Roe v Wade, a nationwide abortion ban should be federal law. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre disagrees and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is not rushing to get on board.
Bottom line, Graham's bill has a next to zero chance of becoming law, but he says Democrats are pressing for nationwide protection for abortions. Graham says his bill would not challenge state abortion regulations with more restrictive standards.
