I take the liberal position that pro choice fades into a right to life, especially around viability but the fade is still ongoing even then (takes more and more extreme circumstances to abort an embryo that is less dependent)
That said, the late-term and even post-term abortions that are happening now mean that if I am forced to choose between complete restriction and late/post, I will support whatever laws restrict late/post even if it’s overly restrictive. It is insane that these things are being conflated under the same term and that is shifting liberals such as myself farther from leftists just because the extreme position is so abhorrent.
Elon’s meme with the left running further left and then calling everyone else bigots is relevant here.
