Maybe this is the issue that causes a Convention of the States to finally happen.

  You're not going to find any unity on this issue in a Convention of the States, either.

    Hmm I don't know. I could possibly see some room for a compromise between blue and red states where a constitutional addmenment would protect a right to abortion in the first trimester and ban it afterwords. It would be likey be opposed by many on both extremes but ALOT of people are in the fuzzy gray space between the two sides on this very complex issue.

      Red states aren't going to compromise now that they know the Supreme Court is in their pocket. If they go for a constitutional amendment it will be for an explicit and unconditional ban on abortion, and probably an amendment banning gay marriage as well. They consider themselves fighting a holy war where these things are concerned, not mere politics, and doesn't compromise with the enemy when one can destroy them utterly.

        From where I sit, the pro-gay-marriage people also think they are fighting a "holy" war, or something equivalent to one. They (at least some of them) certainly act as "destroy them utterly" as the conservatives. In fact, I would guess that at least part of the conservative rage on this issue comes not from gay marriage being legalized, but from liberals who attempt to stamp out and punish any remaining counter-opinion.
