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 Senator Lindsey Graham positioned on a vehicle stage marked for midterm votes and inflation. A sign below highlights focus on inflation. A speech bubble questions the timing of an abortion ban proposal. This responds to Graham's September 2022 introduction of national abortion restrictions shortly after the Roe v Wade decision. The scene captures tension between Republican messaging on economic issues and social policy moves ahead of November midterms.

The image shows the U.S. flag with its stars rearranged into the shape of a coat hanger. This appears days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. Several states quickly enacted or triggered bans on abortion procedures. The visual links the national symbol to the medical tool associated with unsafe procedures before legal access expanded. The timing aligns with immediate legislative responses in multiple states that restricted access.
