"clearly"... isn't as clear as it may first appear. For Example: Plenty of Americans wanted to legalize gay marriages in every state, but proposition 8 lost.

My point: People could very well think that abortion ia the equivalent to killing an already born human, but getting a law to pass takes a majority and I think it's fair to say that America is pretty divided on the issue. To get anything to pass, there will be compromises. Maybe conservatives feel stronger than the language of the laws that are being passed. Maybe not, but it's anything but clear. It's easier to say that small extreme groups are exaggerating and then act stunned when trump wins the election. My entire social circle was stunned when he won, because they assumed they knew where conservatives stood.
