139. By anti abortion candidate, what do you mean?

Every vote, court decision, law, or executive action has been to define the rules surrounding abortion. No one is for complete freedom to chose to have an abortion. I doubt there is a doctor in the country who would be open to preforming an abortion on a healthy woman with a healthy fetus after the point where the fetus could be viable. (I had hoped in the debate when Trump twice referenced babies being aborted at nine months, that he would have been told by either the moderator or Clinton that that just does not happen. The baby is viable then.)

Roe vs Wade was a thoughtful decision that gives the woman complete say at the beginning and then gradually makes it more difficult as the fetus reaches viability. If you look at the 2003 bill that banned late term abortions (they called them "partial birth" in the bill), there were people like Biden and Leahy who voted for it. (Clinton - as well as Kerry and Kennedy voted no - even though it was in late October 2003 and Kerry was running for President.) If Biden or Leahy were your Senator, would you still have voted for him? Many Senators voted against it because it did not have a provision that considered the health of the woman - several saying if that were changed they would have voted yes. Had the bill been written that way, would you have had a problem with people voting for it?

Beyond that, their are the words used. Would you have a problem with a candidate who always voted against limitations, but who described abortion as a sad decision soberly made by a woman?
