Oh there are grounds for compromise. You can oppose Roe because you love the Constitution. You can oppose tax money going to groups involved with abortion on the grounds that it is "nobody's business". You can support parental notificaton/consent because you don't want abortionists to have privileges real doctors don't have.
We are not a "pro-choice" society, we are a "pro-abortion" one and it makes me sick.
As for me, I'm not in favor of turning girls into criminals for having had an abortion -- at least those in the circumstances in which I was acquainted. So there's compromise on my end too.
Exactly. But I'd disagree that there is room for compromise. Right now, the pro-abortion side has won the legal battle. However, the move in this country is toward greater government control through legislation. And the anti-abortion crowd is picking up considerable steam. One side or the other will always be in charge. I frankly believe it's only a matter of time before abortion becomes illegal again. There was a historical loosening of the grip of government in the early 70's. But that noose is tightening with every passing decade. Whether right or left, we will all be trapped in a totalitarian utopia soon enough thanks to the statists who call themselves Republican and Democrat.
