Abortion

For the people who are willing to compromise on the abortion issue the words of Bill Clinton ring true when he said that "abortion should be safe, legal and rare. For many pro choice people this makes sense but at the convention this week Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions which sounds like a sale and smacks in the face of "rare". The only saving grace is that these will be medical abortions which means no late term abortions. Since the reason for 85% of abortions is emotional or financial stress on the mother it is desirable that they make this decision before 12 weeks where 90% of abortions take place. Trump has proposed that abortions be legal in the first 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. Harris says that abortions at any time should be legal. There is no compromise here. Polls show that Trump's position is the way the majority of Americans see the issue as only 19% agree with late term abortions.
