If they do become more moderate on abortion will it prove they are just political animals and their stance has nothing to do with their beliefs, and only about winning.

Lastly, do you think DeSantis was conflicted politically about signing into law a ban on abortions after 6 weeks? When Roe was first overturned he signed into law a ban for 15 weeks. The 6 week ban allows for up to 15 weeks for rape and incest and still exceptions for life of the mother, but already under the first 15 week ban women have been refused care even though the abortion would be legal, because health professional either misinterpreted the law or some other reason. I don’t think that’s widespread, but it has happened.
