Those are moderate positions. The levels of support for those propositions was even higher among Millennials. That would seem to be a positive trend from a pro-life perspective.
The reason Hillary was seen as extreme was her unwillingness to specify an example as to a single limit she would place on third trimester abortion. Which is an extreme position. The Democratic platform no longer calls for abortion to be rare and calls for it to be taxpayer funded. That is not supported by the majority of Americans. Hillary even said that abortion is a Constitutional right, which women should be able to access without regard to ability to pay. But she cannot bring herself to concede that the 2nd Amendment, explicit in the text, is a right, and can you imagine the vapors if one ridiculously asserted that he had a tight to taxpayer funded guns? She likened pro-life supporters to terrorists.... I could go on. But it wouldn't change your mind.

I have no polling, but I don't think swing voters care so much about that issue.
