Praise be that Canada is so progressively ahead of American. I think we're sub 1/5 of the population that wants any further restrictions around abortion. American progressiveness has typically always lagged behind other developed countries but they eventually follow the footsteps, I don't see this being any different. All the issues are a huge stink until they're not, then the vocal group objecting suddenly becomes 40%, 30%, 20%, and eventually fade to nothing.
the foreign perspective on american abortion stances is rather skewed. when u get in to the meat and taters of the issue almost ALL pro lifers allow for exceptions for rape, incest, and medical danger to the mother and or child. and in the end most want late term abortions eliminated or for people to be forced to be informed on what the process mechanically does.
while i dont think that a woman who has been raped by her father should have to watch a 20 minute video of a baby being aborted i do think there's a contrast between what the world media reports the average pro lifer is in support of and what they actually want. which is a spectrum of more moderate stances than the people who form picket lines outside of planned parenthoods.
