Something to think about, the latest YouGov survey shows 13% of all Americans who think abortion should be illegal in all case. 29% think abortion should be legal only in the case of incest, rape and the life of the mother in danger, but banned or illegal for all other reasons. Together, that’s 42% of all Americans who either think abortion should be illegal or legal only in three circumstances, incest, rape and life of the mother. Banned or illegal in all other cases. When one adds those who want abortion illegal or banned after 12 weeks, that comes out to 72% who want abortion illegal or banned after 12 weeks or just 28% who think it should be continued to be legal.

Abortion isn’t cut and dried issue.It isn't all or nothing issue. There's plenty of varying degrees. Folks for or against, there’s certain limits and circumstance people are for or against. Limits placed on abortion. It seems to me the 28% of those who want abortion legal after 12 weeks are the extremist along with the 13% who want abortion completely illegal. Those who fall in-between those two extremes are probably decent people.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
