It's a strange issue, thought. People get pretty passionate about it down party lines, but when it comes to voting on it individually (and anonymously), I think a majority would prefer that it remain legal and accessible to at least some extent. Kansas and Kentucky demonstrated that much.
To the first point, I agree. I've always been a pro-choice person, but as I've gotten older I understand the pro-life opposition to it a lot more. A compromise would probably be a good idea, something along the lines of the vast majority of Europe. Three months for elective abortions and nothing beyond that not necessitated by medial emergency. A good compromise leaves everyone dissatisfied, and that would certainly be the case there. I doubt there's much, if any, stomach for such a move in today's climate though.
