Thanks again - Let’s Talk About Roy Moore’s Extremism on Abortion

[...oops...]

Conservatives are trying to make Doug Jones out to be an extremist on abortion policy. He’d have to go totally crazy to be more extreme than his opponent Roy Moore.

[...]

It’s reasonably clear Jones is trying to say he supports Roe v. Wade, the constitutional status quo for the last 44 years, under which all those 20-week ban bills will almost certainly be struck down .. https://rewire.news/article/2015/05/12/20-week-abortion-bans-still-unconstitutional-years/ .. unless the composition of the Supreme Court changes first. Yet conservatives are claiming Jones was announcing an unrestricted right to an abortion prior to the moment of birth. Yes, Jones has separately indicated support for repeal of the Hyde Amendment .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/who-is-doug-jones-and-can-he-defeat-roy-moore-in-conservative-alabama/2017/09/27/c89e2df2-a2fb-11e7-b14f-f41773cd5a14_story.html?utm_term=.e6a414d1f1df , which prohibits use of federal funds to pay for entirely legal abortions, and that might be controversial in Alabama. But for the most part he’s a standard-brand defender of the law as it exists today.
