The abortion debate often centers around the fringes of actual practice (such as partial-birth abortion, late-term abortion or the abortion pill), and the minority of those with opinions on the subject, "pro-life" and "pro-choice" advocates. Most citizens have more moderate or nuanced views that those espoused by pundits and politicians.
