Well, I'm pro-life, but I've never heard of Lindsey Graham.
Also it is very easy not to take posts in the anonymous section seriously, especially when they only touch on the party political level and not very deeply at that. So why don't you post in a more appropriate Section of the Forum? Maybe Fighting Errors in the Modern World,
Politics and World Leaders or General Discussion.
That being said, I decided to find out who is this Lindsey Graham and what is he about. So I did a web search and came up with an interesting article below:
His achievements and stance go back to 1999 so he's no newchum and I only give the bare bones of the article here. He seems to have a pretty good track record over that time. The major flaw seems to be the repeated mistake, that may have been allowed for purposes of getting a motion passed, and that is the idea that abortion can ever possibly save the life of a woman. And the other is that abortion is to be illegal
or in the case of incest or rape or to save the life of the mother. So here is the skeleton of the article:
Lindsey Graham on Abortion
Defund Planned Parenthood: they harvest organs of the unborn
Q: Wouldn't defunding Planned Parenthood be seen as a "war on women"?
GRAHAM: I don't think it's a war on women for all of us as Americans to stand up and stop harvesting organs from little babies. Let's take the money that we would give to Planned Parenthood and put it in women's health care without having to harvest the organs of the unborn. The only way we're going to defund Planned Parenthood is have a pro-life president.
Reinforce Mexico City policy: defund overseas abortions
Q: What would be your first executive order?
GRAHAM: Change the Mexico City policy, not take one dime of taxpayer money to fund abortion organizations overseas, and restore the NSA that's been gutted….

Pro-life, with exceptions for rape, incest, & maternal life
Graham would ban most abortions at 20 weeks. Graham defines himself as "pro-life" on abortion and sponsored a Senate bill to ban abortions 20 weeks after fertilization. He would make exceptions for cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
