There is no way of getting around it, the populist view on abortion is that it should be legal in the first trimester, restricted in the 2nd trimester, and illegal in the 3rd trimester except to save the Life (not the health) of the mother.

"There is no way of getting around it"

Okay, the polls indicate something like what you say. What is your point? Some other facts that there is no getting around include:

- In 1970 the populist view was that all abortion should be illegal.

- Popularity doesn't = good in itself

- A Rudy Presidential nomination = a democrat president

If a majority of people insisted 2 + 2 = 6, you would compromise with them and agree on 5 ?

I’ve never understood where the virtue is in ‘compromise’ when the answer is clear cut.

This is a tactic of brainwashing — make somebody doubt what they know to be true. Then they will accept any absurdity just because a large number of others tell them to.

I equate a pregnant woman with a woman putting a child on her back to cross a raging river. It doesn’t matter whether she is one-third of the way across, two-thirds, or standing on the banks, if she discards the child she is a murderer. Once pregnant, she is OBLIGATED to do everything she can to deliver that child safely.

The alleged popularity of legal abortion will fade as science increasingly makes it impossible to maintain that abortion isn’t the taking of a human life. That, combined with the eventual passing of the self-indulgent baby boomers, will bring the abortion cult to an end.

In Europe, it will be Islam that brings it to an end, after the Europeans abort themselves into extinction.

Before Roe, as we all know, the states decided the process. Those who want to give up for adoption, still would have that choice. The choicers never want to have that one, however. Still, it takes the Feds out of the process. As to Rudy, he is changing. His SCOTUS choices convinced me that he is not a raving NARAL IDIOT. BTW, the libs in the media have been attacking him daily. Why? If he is so like them , why be afraid of him?

..and illegal in the 3rd trimester except to save the Life (not the health) of the mother

I've never quite understood why an abortion would need to be performed in the last trimester of a pregnancy. Many babies are born during that trimester and live, so why, if the Mother's life was in danger, could they not deliver the baby and try to save it?

“There is no way of getting around it, the populist view on abortion is that it should be legal in the first trimester, restricted in the 2nd trimester, and illegal in the 3rd trimester except to save the Life (not the health) of the mother.”

That may be true unfortunately in our nation..

But we also would hate to bring up what the populist view was in early 1940’s Germany towards the Jews.

Abortion is wrong no matter how many people support it. It is the murder of an innocent life.
