For example, the Arizona Republican candidate David Schweikert (U.S. House of Representatives) has been hit with a daily wave of advertisements claiming he is hardline anti abortion.
Since the 1960s, the controversial issues surrounding abortion have been settled in many Western countries on a widely accepted compromise. There is very little chance that we will see a return to pre 1960s rigorous legal treatment of abortion, which was essentially prohibition.
Only fringe politicians on both sides try to unsettle this societal compromise!
Footnote: The compromise includes e.g. abortions are allowed in cases of rape, incest, or when the life/health of the pregnant woman is in danger; first term abortions are more accepted than late term abortions. Effective contraceptives have become widely available.
