There goes her chance of being nominated. Hardly. "Mildly pro-choice" describes about 70-80% of Republicans. If you poll Republicans on whether or not abortion should be legal in the first trimester for rape and when the mother's life is threatened, you'll find the absolutists are in the minority.
And her stand on government intervention is the status quo before Roe v. Wade when the federal government took no stand on the issue leaving it up to the individual states to decide. Legal in California, illegal in Utah.

Ugh, that isn't "midly pro-choice". I would consider that pro-life with a few extremely rare exceptions. She considered herself to be "libertarian" on this issue which if you think about it doesn't mean anti government intervention considering no matter what side of the issue you're on there will be government intervention from the feds or the state. And where have you heard that she is against Roe vs Wade?

"Mildly pro-choice" describes about 70-80% of Republicans. I doubt that number, but let's go with it.
Is that enough to win a general election?

If her position on abortion costs her 2% of the vote, she loses.
