Abortion is confounding. Normally, a critical mass of politicians figures out
where the middle is and scampers there.
That doesn't happen when it comes to
abortion. Most Americans want abortion legal but restricted, and they feel more
squeamish about later abortions than earlier ones.
Republicans have picked up on
that and therefore focused on late abortions. Democrats, following the cues of
the pro-choice activists, have never parried in the most sellable way.
Why don't Democrats hammer this point? Because by emphasizing that
Republicans would ban even early-term abortions, Democrats would be implicitly
leaving open the possibility that Republicans might be right about late-term
abortions.
