In reply to the discussion: Does "abortion on demand and without apology" describe your approach to the issue? [View all]Silent3
(15,909 posts)But I'm left wondering if the OP even leaves that much room for nuance.
I get the impression that many of our fellow DUers want (practically demand) that we drop any such caveats and qualifications, trust that anything and everything we could possibly be concerned about is covered by women and their doctors making decisions together, otherwise we're oppressors of women who have no right to consider ourselves Democrats, liberals, or progressives.
I'm pretty sure even the phrase "elective third trimester" can get people jumping down your throat because this idea is, apparently, nothing more than a right-wing trick, just something that does not and cannot happen, or is so ridiculously unlikely that it's best left unmentioned and unaddressed by law, otherwise it somehow becomes a foothold for far harsher restrictions.
