Congressional Democrats are decrying legislation unveiled by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that would ban abortion at the federal level after 15 weeks.

Graham unveiled the legislation, dubbed the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act, on Sept. 13. It’s similar to another measure introduced in the Senate by Graham last year, but it would change the prohibition from the previous legislation’s 20-week ban to a reduced 15-week ban.
