Sen. Majority Leader Schumer calls out the Republican backsliding on banning abortion.

Sen. Majority Leader Schumer calls out the Republican backsliding on banning abortion. Yesterday, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) introduced a 15 week nationwide abortion ban, seemingly without the backing of the GOP. Republicans advocated for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but the abortion bans all over the country are very unpopular with voters.

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SCHUMER: “Do the American people want that? Do they want McConnell leader, Mitch McConnell to be majority leader, and work to overturn, to impose a nationwide ban on abortions? I don't think so. Now they're sort of running away from what their real beliefs are, but they're like the dog who caught the bus. For years, they pushed to make this happen. Unfortunately, to the detriment of over 100 million American women. It happened. And now they don't know quite what to do. They're not backing off their horrible MAGA principles, but they want to hide from it at the same time because they know how unpopular it is.”
