Remember
this?
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will introduce a bill in the Senate banning abortions 20 weeks after conception, the Weekly Standard reported Tuesday.
And do you remember how Rubio spent the next few weeks waffling,
initially denying that he would be the bill's sponsor, then
saying that he wanted to "be the bill's lead sponsor" but that it would be okay with him "if somebody else wanted to do it"?
Well, now we know the lucky winner of Rubio's game of abortion hot potato:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Thursday introduced legislation that would ban abortions nationwide for women more than 20 weeks pregnant, the senator's office announced.
Lindsey is calling it the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" but given that he faces a primary challenge, it's probably better to think of it as the "Pain-Capable Scared Incumbent Republican Senator Protection Act."
As for Marco Rubio, don't worry about him, he's still trying to burnish his freakshow credentials:
Ah, the difficulties of being a Republican presidential hopeful. So many groups against which to declare war, and yet so little time.
