As Gallup’s [Lydia Saad](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2OOMP0ReaHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLmdhbGx1cC5jb20vb3Bpbmlvbi9nYWxsdXAvMjU3NjI3L2FsYWJhbWEtYmlsbC1vZGRzLXB1YmxpYy1jb25zZW5zdXMtYWJvcnRpb24uYXNweFcDbnl0QgoAKIxe9lyHPL3uUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) notes, a large majority of Americans support both “protecting abortion rights when pregnancy endangers a woman’s life” and “keeping abortion legal when pregnancy is caused by rape or incest.” Saad explains: “According to Gallup’s 2018 abortion survey, not only do most Americans as a whole favor these protections, but so do majorities of pro-life Americans — 71% for the endangered woman’s life exception and 57% for cases of rape or incest.” Even so, the new laws would often make abortion a crime in such circumstances. All of which would seem to suggest that the abortion issue will help Democrats in the 2020 campaign. But I’m not so sure that it will — because, as [Emma Green](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2OOMP0RUaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlYXRsYW50aWMuY29tL3BvbGl0aWNzL2FyY2hpdmUvMjAxOS8wNi8yMDIwLWRlbW9jcmF0cy1hYm9ydGlvbi81OTA3MDEvVwNueXRCCgAojF72XIc8ve5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) notes in The Atlantic, Democrats are also partly ignoring public opinion in their own approach to the issue. Green’s article has a good review of the polling on abortion, which is far more mixed than many progressives imagine. The country is roughly evenly split between people who identify themselves as pro-life and pro-choice. A majority of Americans, including many Democrats, support abortion restrictions in the second and third trimesters, Green points out. “In the Democratic primary field, candidates seem to be making the calculus that they don’t need to appease those Democratic voters who sit somewhere in the middle on abortion — perhaps another manifestation of the broad push to the left during the primary race so far,” she writes. “In the general election, however, abortion may be a make-or-break issue for some swing voters, who will likely be looking to Democrats for compromise,” Green explains. “These voters could really matter: Some moderates and conservatives who were initially uncomfortable with Trump specifically point to the third presidential debate, when Hillary Clinton endorsed third-trimester abortion, as the decisive moment that solidified their reluctant support for Trump.” Regular readers of this newsletter will recognize [the larger theme](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2OOMP0RuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOC8wNC8yMy9vcGluaW9uL2RlbW9jcmF0cy1lY29ub21pY3MuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTA2MDRXA255dEIKACiMXvZchzy97lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) here. Americans are decidedly progressive on economic issues, but they’re more mixed and moderate on many social issues. Given the importance of beating President Trump in 2020, I think it’s a big mistake for Democrats to imagine that the country is as liberal as their own social circles. And I think signaling an openness to compromise on many issues is both smart and reasonable.

The fact that these bans tend to be unpopular, even in the states that have passed them, may make judges less likely to uphold them, Stokes argues.
