Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is co-sponsoring a bill that would ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, “throwing support behind a measure that both aligns with his longstanding desire to restrict access to abortion and risks complicating his reelection bid less than two months before Election Day,” the Miami Herald reports.
“The legislation, if passed, would likely have little effect on Florida, which already bans abortions after 15 weeks.”
