Analysis: New Polls Demonstrate Why Republicans Would Be Fools to Disengage From Abortion Debate

The party that has truly fallen into lockstep radicalism on the question is the Democratic Party.  They just don’t want to talk about it, assuming their similarly pro-abortion allies in the news media will run cover for them.  Nearly every single Democrat in Congress, with literally two exceptions, supported legislation that would nationalize legal elective abortion-on-demand, for any reason, all the way up to birth, funded by tax dollars.  This is their actual position, which they rarely want to mention or defend, because it is exceptionally unpopular.  An overwhelming majority of voters reject the extremism that Democrats have formally endorsed.  It would be a dereliction for Republicans to continue to silently withstand unfair broadsides about their own supposed abortion extremism (which is sometimes merited, but often hugely overstated) without aggressively showcasing the actual radicalism of the people launching those attacks.  One way to help underline that point is to proactively favor mainstream policies, both in terms of international norms and American public opinion.  Graham’s 15-week restriction, with a handful of popular exceptions, is such a policy.
