Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a pro-life bill at a press conference Thursday with pro-life leaders.

The bill, titled the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act”, would make abortions illegal on unborn babies determined to be at least 20 weeks old, with exceptions in the cases of rape and incest if reported 48 hours prior to the abortion and when the life of the mother is at risk.

Graham called the legislation “simple, yet groundbreaking at the same time.”

“Do you believe that at 20 weeks in the pregnancy, five months, when medical encyclopedias are encouraging young parents to sing to their child because that’s when they can recognize their voice… does the government have a legitimate compelling interest to protect that baby?” Graham asked. “I say yes.”
