When you open the door for abortion, you ultimately support abortion (period).
It will, as it has (history shows this to be true), may that be in conservative states or even nations, as a rule become more permissive over time (slippery slope). Before long, even if you want to be an intellectual, moderate, or a sensible person, you become (here's the ad homenim attack: the “useful idiot” Lenin spoke of). There are issues where there is no middle ground. Taking the so called measured, compromised, compassionate middle ground which allows one to have one foot on either side and appear so inclusive, tolerant and nice, really just throws your support for abortion et al.
If you could chase down these women today and ask them, who of you supports late term tax funded abortions for under age girls without parental consent? What percent do you think would agree. Yet when they supported safe legal abortions (a very moderate idea to protect women - the BS argument used), what did they support?
You are no different. If you support abortions, that's OK, that's your opinion and freedom to feel and vote that way... but do not pretend you are “sensible, moderate, compassionate, measured, compromising.” You might as well come out of the abortion closet, you agree with and support abortion, and that's the end of it. Because we all know what follows long term may it be the US, Germany, California or Texas... When the door is open and you have both the economic interests pulling for this, and human vice/sin pushing this the long term trend is obvious.
For example, I support the legalization of marijuana. However, I will not sit here and lie that I support some moderate, sensible, measured (all these BS terms that convey a feeling but are meaningless) approach. Once you legalize marijuana, the long term trend will be that it will be legal also for recreational use, why? Because once it's legal and the money starts flowing, you have those making the money off it pulling and those that want to use it pushing and eventually the barriers and restrictions will fall, one by one over time.
Any low IQ chap who wants a 10 your old child rape victim to go full term is extreme rabid nutcase.
