Yes, you can, but hardcore prolifers don’t view it that way. And those are the ones that will view any softening on the issue by the GOP as a betrayal. And it’s not just the votes they’re concerned with, it’s the $$$ coming from the pro life contingent.

The extremes in both parties is why it's not a federal law allowing one. You have one side that doesn't want any and ones on the otherside that doesn't want any restrictions. There was even a fight amongst dems when they had total control in Washington. They couldn't agree amongst the party to pass law on it.

The Dems position is not extreme. You have one side that wants government restrictions and another side that believes the decision is medical and is between a woman and her doctor. Even if the government does not define a limit, the limit would be the medical ethics and safety of the decision which I believe currently is somewhere around the 20 to 24 week period.

There are some dems that want zero restrictions even after the baby is born. That's an extreme position.

You post as if everyone in either party has the same position. They don't. Its an individual decision. If all the dems had the same position it would have been codified into law.

Oh cool. I can help you here. This is called a lie.

Edit: Also you already admitted it was a lie and that you knew it was a lie below, where you cite laws that allow for medically necessary (baby is dying or mother is dying) abortions after 24 weeks and not anything like post birth abortions as you claimed.

They were close to passing full term abortion in two states, NY and Illinois.

Two times in my lifetime the dems had totsl control in Washington and couldn't agree on a law.

That is because the Dems have anti-choice people too. Not because of any extreme positions, other than the few Dems that refuse to acknowledge a woman’s health decision should be between the woman and their doctor.
