The problem with the term "moderate" is that it's never clear if it entails ideas that are themselves "moderate" or simply a basket of liberal and conservative ideas that "cancel each other out."
There are two candidates:
One is strongly pro-choice and opposes any attempts to restrict access to abortion; they also oppose gay marriage and support a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
The other accepts Roe v. Wade but thinks some restrictions such as third-trimester bans or not funding abortions with public funds are acceptable; they support civil unions and personally dislike calling them marriage, but think all states should at a minimum provide domestic partnership arrangements for same-sex couples.
Which one is moderate?
