On September 16, 2022, a political cartoon by Dave Whamond illustrates Sen. Lindsey Graham's recent proposal for a nationwide 15-week abortion ban as an own goal in soccer. The image shows Graham in uniform running away from a goal where the ball labeled Abortion Ban has entered the net. Other figures labeled BIP appear tangled inside. The cartoon responds to Graham's surprise legislation that stunned fellow Republicans and provided Democrats an issue for the midterms. McConnell and others had avoided the topic to focus on other messages.

The image shows a woman facing an assault rifle with a speech bubble expressing surprise at having many rights. It responds to the Supreme Court's June 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade alongside separate rulings expanding gun access. The visual premise juxtaposes reproductive restrictions against firearm protections under the Second Amendment.
