The legislation is similar to another bill introduced in the Senate by Graham last year but it would change the prohibition from the previous bill\u2019s 20-week ban to a reduced 15-week ban.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference on the bill, Graham argued that the legislation, which would target physicians providing banned abortions rather than women seeking them, is necessary to place the United States in line with most of the rest of the developed world. In Europe, Graham noted, 47 of the continent\u2019s 50 countries ban abortion after 12 to 15 weeks of gestation.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the bill, physicians providing banned abortions after the legal threshold would be on the hook for a federal criminal charge carrying a fine and as long as five years in federal prison.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bill would permit exceptions in cases where physicians determine the mother\u2019s life is in danger or for children who are the product of rape or incest.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, Democrats were quick to decry the bill, coming in the wake of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as an assault on women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>During a speech on the Senate floor before Graham unveiled the bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called it a \u201cradical bill to institute a nationwide restriction on abortions,\u201d and made clear that his party opposed the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) echoed the sentiment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaker.gov\/newsroom\/91322-1\">in a statement<\/a>, saying Republicans \u201care gleefully charging ahead with their deadly crusade to punish and control women\u2019s health decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are already seeing the agonizing reality of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congressional Democrats are decrying a bill unveiled by Sen.
