My position has been pretty consistent - legal elective abortion until viability. Search for my comments on abortion.
My compromise - 16 weeks, but always legal for mother's health/life and severe fetal deformaties.
HOW is that "muddying the waters"?
See above.
What is your position?
Disagree.
Certain things are not simply "political" but have a moral or ethical aspect to it as well.
That makes zero sense.
It has not gotten "way out of control" that's your political claim.
Over 50 years, though Roe has affirmed the essential right of a woman to have an abortion without "undue burden" it has also affirmed the rights of states to restrict it.
FACT:
Abortion rates have steadily declined since 1980 to a point now where it is lower than when Roe went into effect.

That does not support an "out of control" abortion claim.
80% of abortions occur at or before 9 weeks.
93% occur within the first trimester - 12 weeks.
That leaves 7% occurring after 12 weeks.
