Democrats’ failure to push a more moderate line on abortion could harm them, for two reasons
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskYet in vowing to protect abortion rights, Democrats have at times gone further than may be politically wise. On May 11th the Senate voted against the Democrats’ Women’s Health Protection Act and allowing exceptions on health grounds later, it would ban states from enacting abortion regulations thatpermits. Ms Collins said she also disliked the bill because it did not allow Catholic hospitals to refuse to perform abortions.
Polling suggests that such liberal abortion laws are out of step with public opinion in America. A recent-YouGov poll found that only a quarter of all Americans believe abortion should “always be legal” with “no restrictions”. Gallup polls have repeatedly found that most Americans say abortion on demand should be available in the first trimester but not thereafter.
This leads to the second problem: voters tuning out. Since Donald Trump swore in 2016 that he would appoint conservative justices to overturn, the clash of extremes in America’s abortion war has intensified. This is most evident in the rash of cruel and extreme abortion laws introduced in conservative states. In Missouri, lawmakers want to prevent women travelling out of the state to have an abortion.
