Not that republicans need to start favoring abortions, but that the quest for draconian laws needs to be abandoned,

If you return the issue to the states I doubt that any would impose draconian laws.

Of the women and girls I've known who had abortions, I wouldn't turn any of them into criminals. The abortionists yes. The boyfriends, I wish. But none of these girls really wanted the abortion.

I'd agree to that and in an ideal world I'd just as soon get rid of Roe/Wade since it's basically bad law and bad precedent. Nonetheless in the real world the tactics and conduct of right2lifers has been such that most people wouldn't trust anybody's motives in wanting to get rid of it.

I'd just as soon put the thing up to a plebescite vote and let the people settle the issue once and for all. If I had to bet it I'd bet that they'd vote to keep Roe/Wade. But, one way or another, a straight up vote to settle the issue would get the issue out of national politics and the demokkkrat party would die inside of two years. THAT would be cause for a mammoth celebration.
