I kind of wonder about the 15 week thing. Don't really put much on it


in VA because it's a blue state- 15 weeks is not "consensus" in blue states. Nationally however it might be. Leaving aside issues of federalism, is there more or less access to abortion overall if it's severely restricted in deep red bible belt states and unrestricted elsewhere? To me the 15 weeks seems more moderate in that it's not basically illegal anywhere, and most abortions happen within that time frame.

But electorally for Trump it depends on the specific states he needs to win. NV, rust belt etc, "leaving it to the states" is better because a pro-choice voter in those states could be more confident nothing draconian would be implemented, unlike the south. FL seems like an example where abortion would really damage Trump, but is it just too far red now to matter. Georgia, NC.
