Unfortunately roe v Wade made such a reasonable compromise impossible.
Now that it's overturned, we will likely see the us engage in more compromise which will make this less of a divisive issue.
- corrral 4y agoI thought it did, though, since it mainly restricted anti-abortion laws that apply in the first trimester, with it (and later decisions) allowing significant restrictions in the second and, especially, third trimester? It definitely didn't ban abortion restrictions entirely.
- anon291 4y agoExcept in most countries, abortion is illegal by the second trimester. Second trimester abortions (so up until 24 weeks) had to be legal under Roe. Only regulations that are about the mother's health were allowed. So you could mandate that second-trimester abortions have to be in a hospital, but you couldn't outlaw a 20 week abortion completely, the way most developed, civilized countries have. PP v Casey changed that a bit, sure, but that was 30 years ago.
