Lindsey Graham says he doesn’t support ending filibuster as he introduces abortion ban

Published October 5, 2017 3:51pm ET



Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday said he did not support ending the legislative filibuster as he introduced legislation to ban abortions after 20 weeks.

The South Carolina Republican said he expects the abortion ban to pass the Senate with “60 votes over the arc of time. The best way to protect the pro-life issue and to pass this bill is to build consensus and get 60 votes and not turn the Senate into the House.”
