Notice I didn’t say abortion in my post. I deliberately omitted it.
I don’t have strong feelings either way. What I do know is that you have two sides that passionately believe completely opposite things. This isn’t the same as other issues like taxation or social programs either where you have wiggle room to compromise.
One side believes strongly that abortion murders unborn babies. Full stop.
The other side believes that it’s a woman’s right to choose.
You can definitely argue some sort of middle ground, where most people would be ok with it as long as it’s before “x” timeframe, and the other side thinks it would be ok up to the 9th month. I think it’s been well established that most Americans would look the other way as long as it’s done somewhere around 2-3 months.
As has been stated, we tend to get these polar extremes as outcomes because so few people vote in the primaries.
Will be interesting to see how the polls turn out.
