America's debate on abortion is a dialogue of the deaf. The two sides talk past each other and no compromise is possible because Republicans focus exclusively on the fetus and Democrats focus exclusively on the woman. There is no resolution to the conflict. You can't work out a compromise on murder, which is what pro-lifers think abortion is. State by state we are inching back to the pre-Wade arrangement whereby abortion is discreetly available to women who can afford the steep price.Poor women will have to chose between the orphanage and the coat hanger. The conflict is getting smaller because abortion rates are dropping steeply and first trimester remedies such as Plan B are becoming more widely available.

I think it's gonna become more of a State by State issue. Some States will allow Abortion, and some won't. If you wanna kill your baby, you'll have to go to a State that allows that. That's the direction i see this issue going. States are beginning to assert their power & authority more & more.
