Below is my column in the Hill on the focus on abortion in this election, including the advocacy of an absolute right to abortion by many Democratic candidates. For that reason, when pressed, most candidates are steadfastly avoiding questions on any restrictions, including questions about late-term abortions. While Kessler focused on whether late-term abortions are “common,” the issue is whether a woman has a constitutional right to late-term abortions. More importantly, the question is whether a woman has an absolute right to demand such an abortion and, if not, why? Whatever the “blessing” of Dobbs proves to be in this election, the absolute, unlimited right to abortion finds little support in either Roe or the public.
