That's going to be very difficult for them. A good chunk of their party is fanatical about the issue. Probably pretty hard for them to see a way forward if that chunk decides to sit home.

I think if they were smart, they'd go with x-teen weeks and full protections for health (not life, but health!) of the mother. Make it about later term choice.

I don't think they have it in them though. The part that would need to make that call doesn't really care, and the the part that cares, would never go for such a policy. And they know they can't win a thing if 30% of their base sits home.
