Wasn't this whole controversy simply Democrat misinformation and propaganda trying to make Republicans look bad about nothing?
Democrat position is that abortion is fine, and any doctor should be forced to preform them right up to birth for any reason.
Republican position is that at some point abortion is murder. The debate is only when during the pregnancy it becomes clear that an abortion would be outlawed without a really good reason.
This should be left up to the states.
That's propaganda. No Democrat I know thinks abortion should be permitted "right up to birth", and both Republicans and Democrats want a sliding scale of restrictions as birth approaches. Once again the debate is being driven by extremists on both sides instead of the silent majority, which seems to be the case for most other issues in the country.
