I've listened to both The Bulwark with Ben Wittes and the Secret Pod with Mona Charen and I have the following two thoughts: 1. If you think this won't be a voting issue for pro choice voters, look at the Women's March in 2017 across the country.

We knew the moment Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 election what was at stake. Hence the increased activism among suburban women in the 2018 Midterms. 2. I wish when you spoke about late term abortions you'd recognize that the overwhelming majority (I'd guess 99.5%) are for medical reasons due to the unviability of the fetus/health of the mother. Before abortion was legal and long before I was born, my mother was forced to carry a pregnancy to term while fighting polio. All the doctor's knew what the outcome would be and knew the risk to my mother's life but were unable to take the medically correct course of treatment.
Re health of pregnant women, one would hope the common law right to self-defense would still allow abortions up to feasible caesarean section when women's lives are threatened by their pregnancies. But I'm not a lawyer, so what do I know?
Have the geniuses in red states banned abortion in cases of ectopic pregnancies? Are such women now expected to die along with their fetuses?
