They could have easily gotten a few moderate republicans if they moved to 15 or fewer weeks to move it inline with most of Europe. Plenty of Democrats wouldn’t have liked that but compromise is supposed to leave both sides unhappy, after all.
- saxonww 4y agoI doubt it, because those Republicans would risk being voted out of office. I think this issue is one where we can safely say one side is not interested in compromise. We had compromise with Roe, and they fought. We had compromise with Casey, and they still fought. We've now witnessed the culmination of a 30+ year campaign to place a particular style of justice on the supreme court, complete with abuse of process to manipulate nominations and nominees being misleading or (arguably) lying about this specific issue to get confirmed. None of this is indicative of a willingness to compromise, to me.
