McConnell shies away from supporting national abortion ban
In an interview with “Meet the Press,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “I don’t think we’ll get 60 votes in the Senate” for a 15-week abortion ban.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not say whether he supports a 15-week federal ban on abortions, with exceptions, but told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” “I don’t think we’ll get 60 votes in the Senate for any kind of national legislation.”
McConnell made clear that he believes it’s an issue that should be decided in each state, telling moderator Kristen Welker, “I’m not advocating anything at this level. I think it’s gonna be sorted out all across the country and be very different in different states.”
