his example of young children being prematurely sexualized is "a man dressed as a woman reading and dancing"? lol

it's funny because if he had bothered to do 5 seconds of research, he could have found much better examples of children being exposed to sexual content in public schools to support his dumbass argument. doing proper research isn't a requisite for this "university," evidently.

it's the other way around in terms of the conclusion being reached here, starting from "I don't like men dressing as women" and then working to the sexualization conclusion. they really, really, really hate gender-nonconforming behavior and that's what they actually care about targeting here, and they're really going hard on sexualizing it

Senate GOP intends to introduces a federal abortion ban today. Reports are it'll ban abortion after 15 weeks with no exceptions. Will not restore abortion in states that went even more draconian than this so total bans, 6 weeks, etc. will remain in effect in those states. Would affect all other states though by making it illegal after that point.

The play is obviously to try and shift the Overton window by going "See we offered up 15 weeks but Dems want abortion on demand up until the second before birth" since obviously this is dead on arrival in the current Senate.

...Not the strategic move I would make heading into a midterm where Dobbs has fired up women but uh...

Its obviously an attempt to slowly chip away at abortion rights by starting from a reasonable-sounding position and then becoming more and more restrictive. 15 weeks for on-demand is actually pretty common worldwide, but the issue is when you start going backwards there is no guarantee when you stop. I would also not put it past the Republicans using this to ban all abortions past that point including urgent ones.

We don't have the text yet so can't be positive but the reporting I've seen around this is indeed no exceptions past this point.

Yeah, seems very dumb. If it was both a floor and a ceiling (and had exceptions) I could at least see the line of thought behind it as a political move, but of course they probably couldn't get their caucus on board with that even if some of them wanted to. The public takeaway will be confirmation that the GOP wants to enact a national abortion ban, not "oh this ban isn't as extreme as the ones you've heard about in a bunch of states" (which is what I assume Graham intends)

If memory serves me right, 15 week bans with exceptions are fairly popular. GOP has the ability to stand for something popular here.

But of course they dont because they are crazy

Afaik public opinion has shifted non-negligibly in a pro-choice direction post-Dobbs, so while it might have been the median position before I expect that it would be underwater now.

My impression is that the median position is really something like uncomfortable with both abortion and forced birth, for some limits in theory but less so in practice when they start hearing horror stories, and probably with a bias towards abortions being legal when unsure since that was the status quo.

It's shifted significantly since Dobbs. I believe the WSJ found that pre-dobbs support was around 48%, and now it's down to 30% with 57% opposed. Public perception shifts, especially when it becomes a reality. It's easy to say "Yeah, sure I'd support a 15-week abortion ban" when you don't see the consequences of such actions. But once you see the consequences, public opinion shifts fast. Republicans showed their cards early by going for an outright ban (and let's face it, that's their end goal here) and then moderating it to try to seem reasonable. It had the opposite effect. Most people simply don't believe them because they're starting to see them for the liars they are. Case in point: That one lawmaker who said he lost sleep over it, but then voted for the same thing a bit later. Abortion is something that should be between a woman and her doctor, with no government involvement.

Text of the bill came out. 15 weeks. Allows red states to enact stronger bans than this and leaves those already there intact. Seems there are some exceptions but conditions placed upon them and also:

Washington Post reports...
Asked if his bill had exceptions where fetal abnormalities appear later in the pregnancy or if a child is stillborn, Graham said he did not know.

so, yeah

Senate GOP already going "I don't know him" lmfao. Graham was asked and said he hadn't spoken to McConnell about this and McConnell himself basically said, "I think we should leave this to the states."

I knew there was no way this was signed off on by the heads. The number one issue Rs are backpedeling or easing up on in states where they're behind is abortion, they're even cutting ads about it. There was no way this passed and all it does is make the Republican odds this November lower.
