"I have no trouble understanding a fetus was as much a life as a new born as an honest and principled position" Starting with that is huge. Getting called a women hater, or getting told as a man you have no right to have an opinion, or get written off as a religious idiot, starts to polarize your opinions. But when each side recognizes the others opinion is valid then you can start to look for a compromise. Personally I think making abortion something that has to be legislated at the state level and leaving moral issues up to public referendum would go a long way to removing it from the normal political divide.
