Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Lindsey Graham and the growing movement to redefine "late-term" abortion
- The legislation is known as the "Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act."
- Graham does not state that all abortions at or after that point are "late-term," but such phrasing definitely gives that impression.
- For years, opponents of abortion rights have traditionally associated "late-term abortions" with time frames of 20 weeks or later.
- The Kentucky legislature recently passed legislation restricting late abortions after 15 weeks and prohibiting risky mail-order abortion medicines.
