Despite the concerns of some Republican mega-donors, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Wednesday that he would like to be the lead sponsor of a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy that passed the House earlier this year.
“If someone else would like to do it instead of me, I’m more than happy to consider it,” Rubio told Politico. “But I’d like to be the lead sponsor. I feel very strongly about this issue.”
Abortion was not a winning issue for Republicans during the 2012 elections, but conservatives have found an effective wedge issue in the 20-week ban, which a majority of Americans seem to support.
