Running to the middle is not going to help -- Dems or GOP:
"...efforts to find a middle ground on abortion have proven difficult. Republican legislators in North Carolina and Virginia, for example, have sought to position policies such as 12- or 15-week bans as a reasonable compromise.
That might have worked in 1990. But public opinion has shifted in ways that make this strategy increasingly untenable. Our research shows that most Americans, including Republicans, do not see these “moderate” policies as meaningfully different from more restrictive bans."

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social "Americans, including Republicans, do not see these “moderate” policies as meaningfully different from more restrictive bans." That's because 15 weeks is still effectively a ban on abortion in a lot of cases. People will often not know in time unless they are always checking, and i don't think either side is willing to leave this to chance
