The title article and all of the responses here don't capture the argument that if abortion is illegal that means that it still happens, but young women will die (and the poor young women who can't be quietly flown to another jurisdiction where it is legal). And I think the bigger problem is that we allow people to have nonsense opinions in polite society. The idea that human life begins at conception and that undifferentiated cells are human life worth more than the life of the mother is just garbage. That isn't really defensible. And that isn't my problem and I'm not going to be particularly apologetic about it and I don't need to see eye to eye with anyone else. They constructed this ridiculous argument that I can never in a million years agree with and so I won't. I literally can't compromise with that position, and it is a position that I would argue is crafted deliberately to avoid compromise. Ain't my problem. And if you're going to argue that it should be my problem and that I don't get how we need civility and tolerance I think you're the bigger problem. Keep punching the wrong direction though. And where's the outrage over the anti-abortion activists painting their opposition as supporting abortion uncritically into the third trimester? There's nobody reasonable out there who believes that. Yet you'll find people who find abortion troubling and want it done quickly and can't agree with it being in the third trimester except to save the life of the mother who consider themselves to be against abortion. They're actually pro-abortion/pro-choice because that's the way everyone thinks. Make it quick and easy and get it done in the first trimester ASAP (and use contraception so ideally it never gets there and stop using the rhythm method or pulling out because that's how you wind up needing abortions, and use the morning after pill in the case of contraceptive failure or rape). Most pro-abortion/choice people already ARE at the compromise point between the two extreme endpoints of the possible debate.
