So Lindsey Graham says abortion should be illegal bc it's not mentioned in the Constitution. I checked and he's right. But childbirth isn't mentioned either so I guess we need to ban that too

1. Airplanes, Television and the Internet

Matter of fact, I don't recall seeing Lindsay Graham mentioned in the Constitution. He must be illegal too.

2. We could add automatic weapons to that list.

3. Ummm

All medical procedures, drugs, diagnostic equipment fall under the Graham rule of "not mentioned in the Constitution."

Let's go back to dying early and painfully as Graham's god intended.

4. Jesus Christ

is not mentioned.

5. abortions were acceptable

at the time the Constitution was written...

"Abortion was frequently practiced in North America during the period from 1600 to 1900"

https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/religion/news/2013/08/08/71893/scarlet-letters-getting-the-history-of-abortion-and-contraception-right/

"...early American abortion law, where the procedure was legal until “quickening”—the first time a mother feels the baby kick, which can happen anywhere from 14 weeks to 26 weeks into pregnancy.
Abortion was not just legal—it was a safe, condoned, and practiced procedure in colonial America and common enough to appear in the legal and medical records of the period..."

"The earliest anti-abortion laws were intended to protect women from untrained abortionists. Records indicate abortions occurred unregulated during the 1800s..."

10. The 2nd amendment only says ", the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

I think that should be limited to only the ones you are born with.

11. Little Miss Lindsay Graham

This tRump loving POS isn't mentioned either, ban this asshole.

[rusty fender]

12. As a lawyer he knows the Constitution doesn't include

all rights held by Americans, but as a Trumpass groveler, he snidely makes a stupid ass remark like this.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

14. It would probably shock us to know the percentage...

of Americans that would accept Graham's statement as fact. This disease of ignorance must be reversed, or else we're all screwed.

18. You're right.

Too many willfully ignorant people out there

15. Definitely need to ban Viagra and penile pumps then. If men were meant to spill their seed

they wouldn't need artificial conception.

17. I'm pretty sure it's not in the fucking Bible either...
