Republican Graham loses cool over abortion after supreme court pill ruling

Senator deflects questions with false claim Democrats want a barbaric' law allowing abortions on demand until birth

Republican frustration with the supreme court decision which on Friday blocked restrictions on a widely used abortion pill spilled into public on Sunday, as the South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham lost his cool in a television interview when challenged on his flip-flopping position.

Graham, who last September proposed a national 15-week abortion ban only a month after insisting it was an issue for states to decide, became angry on CNN's State of the Union, deflecting questions with false claims Democrats wanted a law allowing abortions until birth on demand.
