The flip side of the abortion issue...what if the GOP moderates, and their rural margins collapse?

[Person Man]

Non-southern rural areas have the longest history of being Republican. Look at Kansas. Republicans did really well despite the abortion thing. I think in Nebraska, Kansas, and even places like Iowa, Montana, and especially places like Alaska, it would probably help Republicans to pass a law that would explicitly legalize first trimester abortions while making "quick" abortions a crime with reasonable exceptions (nonviable fetus, its a choice between that and a 90% chance of a hysterectomy or a 50% chance of dying, but not something like when the pregnancy is the result of abuse).
