Lindsay Graham just went out of his way to shoot the GOP midterm messaging in the face, like he was Dick Cheney's hunting partner. His proposal would ban abortions after 15 weeks, which is actually the first trimester or thereabouts. It's couched in "late term abortion" language that's been successful in the past.
The problem for Graham and the rest of the GOP is that the time frame is irrelevant if the word "ban" is in there. This is also explicitly contrary to GOP claims to want to "leave it to the states."
The inflation news was bad today, though I'm not seeing it as much in my daily life. It's mostly present in rent, medical costs and restaurant meals (the latter likely catching up to the curve). Gas is the source of real anxiety and that's coming down. I'm guessing they will revise this number downwards in a few weeks, but this is NOT the news Democrats want to hear.
Enter Lindsay Graham and his abortion ban (again, the time frame is irrelevant).
There's a ton of evidence that young women are registering to vote in disproportionate numbers. I have little doubt how this shit is playing in suburbs among college educated women.
What a tremendous fuck up.
Also, it's kinda funny to do this on the day that odious troll Ken Starr was delisted from the Federalist Society rolls.
