Lindsey Graham's Explosive Outburst on Abortion Access.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham became angry in a TV interview when challenged on his flip-flopping position on abortion and falsely claimed that Democrats wanted a law allowing abortions until birth on demand. The official position of the Democratic party is to codify federal protections for abortion, guaranteed by the Roe v Wade decision of 1973 until overturned by the supreme court last year, that permitted the procedure until “fetal viability”, generally accepted to be at about 24 weeks’ gestation. The spectacle of Graham’s anger underscored how Republicans are struggling to find a cohesive response to Friday’s ruling over the abortion pill mifepristone and on abortion in general.
