If so, I don’t know what the problem is. I know it wasn’t always this way in the Republican party but it seems like it’s shifting to a more sensible approach. Don’t the majority of Americans believe that there should be SOME restrictions?

Don't play stupid. We know this game.

Even states with exemptions don't grant them for extreme medical conditions.

And Trump lies constantly. CONSTANTLY.

No, 61% of the country thinks that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. You know why? Because women who don’t want to be pregnant want to get unpregnant as fast as possible. And women who wanted to be pregnant and found out that the fetus isn’t going to live or that the woman is going to die from the pregnancy or whatever makes that particular pregnancy no longer an option also want to get unpregnant as fast as possible. Contrary to forced birther lore, young women aren’t meeting up every Friday night for a third trimester abortion and a few margs.

Trust women to make their own life decisions.

“Most cases” means there would be restrictions.

Such a tired headline.

So long as the restrictions are medical, not political, and made by the governing bodies that regulate all medical procedures, that’s fine.

Forced birthers causing women to die on the operating table from an ectopic because she has to be sufficiently close enough to death? No, that’s not a legitimate limitation, that’s forced birthers using women as human sacrifices for their own twisted religious beliefs.

Hey, guess what. He also once went on record saying he was pro-choice. He's been off the record saying he doesn't want to emphasize abortion because he knows it polls terribly.

What he says "on record" is absolutely not reliable. What makes you think it is?

Have you seen what's happening in red states that have these so-called exceptions for the "health" of the mom or fetus? Guess what - the prospect of being prosecuted spooks health-care workers out so much that they don't want to go near a woman experiencing a problem until she's almost dead. Who can blame them? Would YOU put yourself in danger of being sent to jail for helping a woman in distress get an abortion.

There were restrictions with Roe and it was generally at the proven point of viability, with exceptions for later abortions on doomed pregnancies. That's what Americans want.
