118th Congress Sen. Graham has stood up against the extremist nominees of the pro-abortion Biden-Harris administration and against pro-abortion action both in the administration and through legislation advanced by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sen. Graham has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, including abortion travel expenses, whether domestically or internationally, and pushing back on the administration’s extreme executive actions on abortion.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Graham opposed the Department of Defense's illegal and immoral abortion travel policy. During an appropriations markup, Sen. Graham spoke out against taxpayer funding for abortion. In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Graham spoke against the deceptively-named Equal Rights Amendment, which would enshrine unlimited abortion on demand into the United States Constitution. In a Judiciary Committee hearing, he called out Democrat abortion extremism and advocated for protecting unborn babies at least at the point when science shows they can feel pain. As ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Graham exposed the abortion extremism of pro-abortion witnesses and the Democrat senators, showing that there is no limit on abortion they will accept. He also led a bicameral amicus brief in the Kerr v. Planned Parenthood case, supporting South Carolina’s determination that Planned Parenthood does not qualify to receive Medicaid funding

117th CongressSenator Graham has stood up against extremist nominees of the pro-abortion Biden-Harris administration, against pro-abortion action both in the administration and through legislation advanced by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sen. Graham has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, whether domestically or internationally, and protecting health care provider rights for those who refuse to engage in brutal abortions.

Senator Graham introduced S. 61, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would protect unborn children from late-term abortion based on their ability to feel excruciating pain. He also pressed Ketanji Brown Jackson on the life issue during her confirmation hearings. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs gave the authority to enact limits on abortion to both state and federal lawmakers. Sen. Graham is among a select group of courageous Members of Congress who quickly accepted their responsibility to protect unborn children nationally; he introduced the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act in the fall of 2022.

116th CongressSenator Graham has voted consistently to protect the lives of unborn babies and infants as well as the consciences of taxpayers who don’t want their hard-earned tax dollars paying for abortion domestically or internationally. While the pro-abortion majority in the U.S. House of Representatives continually sends the Senate bills that roll back pro-life protections, the Senate has made it their priority to confirm judges and justices who will respect the constitution and leave legislating to the legislative branch.

Senator Graham introduced S. 160/S. 3275, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he led a hearing on the Pain-Capable bill, and has led the confirmation of over 200 federal judges. Senator Graham participated in debate on the Senate floor in favor of S. 311, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and the Pain-Capable bill. Along with Senator Grassley, former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Graham, who serves as the current Chair of the Committee, requested that the Department of Justice reprioritize its investigations into Planned Parenthood, based on criminal referrals from the Senate Judiciary's investigation.
