McConnell said a national ban on abortions would be a possibility if the Supreme Court overturns Wade.
His comments came after a leaked draft of a Supreme Court ruling showed a majority of justices wanted to overturn the 1973 decision that legalized abortion.
In an interview with USA Today published Saturday, McConnell was asked if the idea of a national abortion ban was worthy of debate.
Legislative bodies at the state and federal level could legislate if the leaked opinion became the final opinion. It is possible.
The opinion held that both decisions should be overturned.
The draft said it was time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people.
Many states have enacted abortion restrictions that have been challenged in court. Trigger laws that restrict or ban abortion are in more than a dozen states.
Republicans in Congress are not sure if a federal abortion ban will be seriously considered. Some GOP lawmakers have said that they are weighing national restrictions, while others have said that the decision should be left to the states.
Democrats in Congress are renewing efforts to pass federal legislation that would protect abortion rights if the Supreme Court upholds the law.
