You probably hail from a place that has fairly settled abortion law though right? America never settled theres state by state in the 70s and 80s, as they should have, instead the supreme court stuffed an overarching and unconstitutional position down everyones throats. This led to the antiabortion lobby massively growing and the federal reversal of the ruling a couple years ago. Now we are living through what we should have lived through 50 years ago but we have a massively more polarized electorate, which makes a reasonable outcome much more difficult to achieve in a reasonable amount of time. as an atheist who is a big fan of abortion, its pretty frustrating.
