I agree that abortion is the one issue where people can not compromise.
It is pretty easy to resolve under basic principles of individual rights. An embryo that can not survive on its own outside the mothers body is not an individual entitled to individual rights greater than those of the mother. But mainly because of religious beliefs people can't get there.
Same thing with the death penalty. It is very clear that our criminal justice system is way to flawed to be trusted with the decision to take a persons life. But when people debate the issue they talk about morality and revenge.
