This is the natural consequence of chasing after those white, suburban, and often Christian voters. Hey libs, when you only care about votes and not principles, don't be surprised when your political party sacrifices things YOU care about.
My accelerationist fursona wants this, the other one was strangled to death.
is it too late for a 90th trimester abortion? if not, i would like to be aborted please.
That's a little doomer, it's not gonna actually show up on the platform, but they will get support from some of the worst Democrats.
There is like a 40% chance they do this to try to lock up that moderate vote. Higher if (when) Biden looses.
It's definitely not. The moderate vote is pro choice. Banning abortion would light so many god damned disengaged centrists and liberals up, especially women, that they would start joining third parties in droves. They wouldn't fucking dream of it, this is core culture war shit.
That Marist Institute poll from earlier this year found that 2/3’rds of moderate and independent voters in the Midwest favor restrictions on abortion after the third trimester. A quarter said they vote specifically based on abortion.
They wouldn’t flat out come out agaisnt it. They’d do the flowery language like in the proposal. Say that it’s an important subject with points in all sides that must be listened to or some other BS Civility language they Love.
I think they still understand what it would do to their base, and they could easily spend less effort protecting it, but they will keep abortion protection on the platform lest they be wiped off the map.
No but the DNC may very well take the line that if Democrats running in conservative districts feel they need to abandon pro-choice stances in order to win, then that's all good.
