So despite my conservative nature, this is one thing I disagree with Trump and most Republicans about. If the republicans were to accept a moderate affirmation of a woman's right to choose, it would take away the biggest issue the Dems have over Republicans. For the republicans, a reasonable stance on abortion would go a long ways towards attracting the suburban mom demographic. It would not only be the right thing to do but it would be the smart thing to do politically.
I think this is a slight misstatement of the general Republican position. Most lefties conflate the Evangelical, strongly Pro-life, life begins at conception group with the rest of the party. Forgive me if that's not what you're doing.
The majority of the party is actually positionally very well aligned with the broader population. That position is as follows:
*The morning after pill is fine
*If a state allows abortion, that's maybe not something they're personally comfortable with, but that's the law of the land now.
*Abortions before 12 weeks are generally not too bad
*Late term and partial birth abortions, however, should be off the table.
Contrast the above to the democrat legislative position, where ANY abortion, for any reason, is allowed at any point during the pregnancy. When you look at what policies they're pushing, you can see quite quickly who is aligned with the mainstream and who the outliers are.
And it ain't us.
Cue the really loud - and inaccurate - denials from the usual suspects.
