the majority of hardcore Democrats will give it all a blanket, “abortion on demand without apology,” response.
I think this is a misconception. There are very few people at all that want to see a constant stream of abortions.
Maybe link to some stories of people demanding it?
Abortion on demand, meaning readily available, for anyone that wants it regardless of their reason.
I think that’s a tomayto/tomahto difference, though. If your goal is to reduce the number of abortions without reducing the availability of abortions, that position is effectively abortion on demand, although nobody who held that position would describe it as such. “Abortion on demand” only (badly) describes the desired legal landscape, it doesn’t describe the policy goal. Abortion on demand can lead to a significant reduction in the number of abortions, if coupled with increased access to other reproductive healthcare or related services, as the Obama administration more or less proved.
How does it badly describe the desired legal landscape? It sounds accurate to me.
Also, the majority of Americans are against the legalization of late term abortions according to Gallup polling and others. I’ve never once heard anyone provide a defense of late term abortion, excluding for health reasons, but pro-choicers still treat it like it’s a violation of human rights.
