The problem is democrats are trying to sell that as an “abortion ban” always asking the question “do you support abortion” to solidify the argument (losing) they are trying to make politically. The the real question do people support abortion after the first three months. And obviously the answer is no.
At 2:41 PM, Rob Anderson said...: No, the reality is that Republicans oppose abortion for religious, not medical, reasons. People in the US want abortion to be safe and legal. Republicans don't want women to have the freedom to choose when they have children.
At 4:47 PM, Anonymous said...: No. Liberals are only playing word games by labeling states with new laws that limit abortions to 15 weeks as “near total ban” “15 week ban”. There is no such thing. In the real “reality” there is no total ban anywhere in the country.

Simple question which you will probably predictably avoid. Do you support abortion after 3 months yes or no?
At 1:37 PM, Rob Anderson said...: Maybe, if it's some kind of medical emergency. "Yes or no" can't cover every possibility.
