The political consensus in DC would never lead to a federal law banning first trimester abortion for adult women. This partial birth thing is a whole different ball of wax - especially when viability can be scientifically demonstrated at 20+ weeks.
The States is where this belongs, for many reasons. The country is too divided to have a uniform abortion law (again, we’re talking about adult women before 20 weeks). Let the States have a crack at it, let’s see what political consensus they can hold for State based bans. Send it to the States, and this will also free the national Republican party from the litmus test on this issue, so we can focus on other issues regarding government.
Great post.
If we were killing 4,000 ten year olds each day, or 4,000 thirty year olds, would you figure it was something for the GOP to just get over?
