Indeed, though the majority of Americans want to keep abortion legal, they also support restrictions that the Left frames as oppressive. Gallup finds that 60 percent believe abortions in the first trimester should be legal, with support plummeting for later trimesters. Only 28 percent support abortion in the second trimester (after 13 weeks) — the cutoff in Mississippi is 15 weeks, by the way — and support drops to 13 percent for abortions in the third trimester. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that Americans are evenly split when it comes to bans on abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected. Gallup also found that 51 percent of Americans believe that abortion should be legal under “certain circumstance” or “never,” while 48 percent believe it should be legal in every circumstance.

Or, in other words, the contemporary Democratic Party’s position — unlimited tax-funded abortion on demand up until the moment of crowning, including partial-birth abortion — is less popular than the Mississippi law.

How popular is it to shield abortion clinics from basic safety regulations that every other medical provider must meet? (And supposedly abortion is health care?) Most polls found that a strong majority of Americans disagreed with tax-funded abortions, as well. Yet, that too is the position of the Democratic Party, which recently reversed course on the long-standing Hyde amendment. One of the first things Biden, like most recent Democratic Party presidents, did was to repeal the Mexico City Policy, ensuring that taxpayers also fund the abortion industry abroad.
