I am not trying to start an abortion debate or hijack the thread, but rather to inform. My statement was based on the true state of abortion jurisprudence and polling.

What people on average want is the ability for a woman to get an abortion in the first trimester. Very few accept the Supreme Court imposed rules preventing parental notification, which in the case of abortion is an extremely strong interference by the government into parental rights.

People don’t want abortion past the first trimester except when the health of the mother is at stake (and they don’t mean some minor psychological discomfort – they mean serious stuff). People also believe that the law in fact places that restriction on abortion. It did in Roe v Wade but not in subsequent rulings.

If “choice” is the compromise, what are the poles of the argument? On one site we have total prohibition of abortion. On the other we have what? Infanticide? Wuthanasia of kiss who get bad scores in their fourth grade exams? Show me how the current situation is a compromise rather than a court imposws farthest possible extreme.

If you doubt my assertion of the state of the law, feel free to look it up. The internet is a marvelous thing.
