Abortion.
I don't think it should be illegal, but I don't see why it shouldn't be subject to medical regulations. I think regulating the actual surgical procedures is less arbitrary than cutting off abortions along a trimester framework. I would ban D&E, but not suction processes. I'm opposed to ultrasounds as part of informed consent but support regulating clinic buildings for health and safety, even if that does force some to close. Oppose federal funding (except for medically necessary or rape related abortions for certain federal employees like military vets and peace corps) but am indifferent to state funding. Oppose spousal consent but support parental consent. Support religious objectors. Support insurance companies who are otherwise prohibited from covering the procedure in some insurance policies. No mandatory waiting periods. No free speech buffer zones on public property around clinics. I think its not a very important subject and public discussion about someone's decision to have an abortion is tasteless and should be avoided. I also get annoyed whenever I hear about muh old white men controlling muh body and how we're supposed to have separate but equal votes on sex-specific issues. Personally, I am morally opposed but would not second guess my hypothetical wife's decision to have one.
