A "yes" vote would have meant total uncertainty. Would abortion be banned in cases of rape or incest? Would it be banned to save the life of the mother? Who knows. Maybe it would be--maybe it wouldn't. Seeing a 10 year old rape victim having to go to another state probably shocked a lot of people.

The problem is, once again, everyone views things as black or white / all or nothing. The reality, I think, is that most people have a more nuanced view of abortion. First trimester, or at least early in the first trimester, probably garners majority support. Second trimester and later, most would probably be against except for life of the mother.
