Bush is completely right in this, though maybe not for the reasons some think.
Coming out this way, with a law that will be crushed, will merely paint us as extremists. I know people don't like to hear that but it's true--this is just the type of law that makes moderates go "See? They're all extremists!"

I'd rather be an "extremists" who says that killing an innocent child is wrong in all cases than a moderate who says that killing an innocent child is ok in certain circumstances.

the extreme position would be to ban abortion in every case." Life" of the mother is a bigger loophole than you seem to concede. It would cover all medical emergencies. Rape, incest, and certain "health" are all pure judgement calls.

"with a law that will be crushed, will merely paint us as extremists."
I wouldn't be so certain this law will be crushed. The SCOTUS may now have a majority of constitutional originalists. They may very well use this case to overturn Roe vs Wade as constitutionally flawed. If it does so, contrary to popular belief, it will not make abortion illegal. The court would merely be restoring the constitutional order of things and return the matter to States to resolve as their citizens' duly elected representatives see fit.

Moderation in your appetites, extremes in your virtues. Its either right or wrong! Who f-ing cares who thinks we are extreme, if we are right. I'm not saying every abortion is wrong, but if people view the virtuous as extreme then, so be it.Killing an unborn child is extreme, and wrong, but has come to be viewed as a "moderate" position deferring to choice by a woman to control her body, which completely misses the point. Its not jurisdiction that's at issue here, its life and death.
