Divisions on abortion were on display in Congress this week as both the House and Senate returned to Washington, D.C., after a lengthy summer recess.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday introduced a national abortion ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. The proposal drew a quick rebuke from Democrats campaigning on expanded abortion access and disagreement from fellow Republicans who want to leave abortion decisions up to states.

Also this week, Peiter "Mudge" Zatko, the Twitter whistleblower, testified before Congress that federal regulators are not powerful enough to deal with Big Tech companies like Twitter. And Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) once again squared off with Dr. Anthony Fauci at a Senate hearing.

Here's a look at scenes from the Capitol the week of Sept. 12, captured by Washington Examiner photographer Graeme Jennings.
