It’s about time, people start asking D politicians these types of questions.  Yet the question isn’t specific enough.  It should be “if a would be mother decides in the third trimester that she no longer wants to have a baby, should she be allowed to have an abortion when no life for mother or baby is in jeopardy and no rape or incest has occurred?”

Im going to say +75% of America would be okay with a 16wk limit for “optional” reasons and no limit for rape, incest, and medical reasons.

The first Presidential candidate to say that out loud wins in a landslide if he/she  explains that it will be the end of the “debate”.

I would agree wt your assessment.   And as @Archy1221 notes above, the Dems need to let go of their 'Idol' (my word) of having abortion as a right regardless of time frame or reason.  Both sides have been throwing grenades from their bunkers without getting out in the open and finding a workable middle that will please a majority.   

The first presidential candidate to do so will get the majority of the vote vs the entrenched position candidate.  However, right now both parties are entrenched in their view point and it would be political suicide for someone to 'test' the middle ground.

Question... How would there possibly be a middle ground now when there essentially was one in 1973, but that was systematically erroded by religious extremist until we got to the point we're at today?

As @ZRod pointed out, that's where we were.....and that didn't hold up.  I'm to the point that I'm very skeptical that a middle ground candidate could get elected.  I just don't see the bases on either side coming down from the extreme the political discourse has them on right now.

Maybe so. The middle ground may be long gone
