Reply #105: I agree as well - let's get this topic away from the Repub's

I assume you've read the article, and the actual proposal.

As someone has pointed out, Roe v. Wade already bans 3rd trimester abortions... (so I'm kind of mystified why people here have a problem with this) however:

1) The new Supreme court may very well overturn Roe v. Wade for generations to come. Do you really want to dig your heels in, reject this proposal and then go back to the 50's?

2) Red State voters believe that 3rd trimester abortions "on demand" (and not necessarily threatening the life of the mother) are going on "all the time".

Proof of #2:

A bill (or constitutional amendment) like this would take this "hot button" issue off the table from the Republicans who are stealing votes away from those who would otherwise gladly vote Democratic (or stay at home)
