Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has proposed asking voters whether they are in favor of allowing “dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth.”
What a dumbass.

You made that number up. I read the entire article, and not only does it not say that anywhere (and in fact, 64% isn’t a figure used for any metric), it says 49% support some form of restriction versus 47% who want expansive abortion rights.
The problem is “some form of restriction” is a terrible metric to categorize people. Does that mean FDA regulating mifepristone? Because 63% support having at least prescription access to it. Does it mean having better laws? Because 61% think the overturning of Dobbs was a bad decision. Does it mean preventing first trimester abortions? Because 69% support abortion access in the first trimester.
I don’t know where you got “64% support some form of restriction” from, but it certainly wasn’t your source.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
now do gun regulation
Too bad Republicans are incapable of controlling themselves, and want to completely ban abortions – either explicitly or implicitly (6 week bans, when you can only just start to detect pregnancy). That majority you describe wants limitations to a legally accessible procedure.
I’m afraid Republicans have turned this into a debate of if abortion should be legal at all, not if it should have restrictions. And when you insist that a young girl, barely a teenager, gives birth to an incest baby? Kinda hard to think Republicans want any exceptions.
So yeah, Republicans are anti choice, and a majority of Americans don’t like that bullshit, as shown in the article that your shared.
