as their official party platform, but there will be no expansion of abortion rights that they won't support and no restrictions that they won't oppose.

Since Roe was overturned which solid blue State has passed

a bill that would allow abortion on demand until birth? I am not saying there is no Democrat anywhere that has ever expressed support for such an idea but I think it is pretty clear the party position is to reinstate Roe which was not on demand for any reason.

Michigan has come awfully close.

Proposal 3 allows abortion at any point in time if a provider finds it's medically indicated to protect the "mental health" of the pregnant individual. The thought of having a kid stressing you out? You can probably find a doctor to tell you abortion is medically indicated.

Also, while Proposal 3 provides that the state can regulate abortion after fetal viability,

I guess you could read it as allowing it for any

frivolous reason. More likely the language was intended to recognize there can. be cases where there is a very real mental health issue that might not be included in the more traditional health of the mother phrase.

I will say that I think the idea a woman who is 8 months pregnant would decide to terminate her preganancy because it is stressing her out is insulting to women in general and women who have access to abortion services and carry to the 8th month actually do want to be pregnant.
You have a remarkable talent for discerning

I suspect Tex is right about this, if he means established

opinion in the party. Depressing but true. I'm a Democrat who does not share that absolutist view and would love to see a lot more diversity acknowledged, and anyone who says otherwise will be smacked upside the head.
