I'm not sure if either label accurately describes my views on the issue.
First of all, I do support the Hyde Amendment (banning government funding for abortion except for r*pe, incest and when the mother's life is endangered). I think there should be some limits. If the pregnancy arises from r*pe or incest or if the mother's life is in danger, then there should be no limits on when the abortion should occur. Other than that, abortion should be banned at the federal level after the conclusion of the 2nd trimester. (I am somewhat sympathetic to the religious right's objections to abortion but they have become much too one-sided and obssessed on the issue. They've blindly supported Trump throughout everything he's done, including the Access Hollywood tape and calling white supremacists "fine people", because he gave them pro-life judges.)
