No issue is so divisive in American politics as abortion. It is certainly not a black and white issue. Everyone has their own idea of what is right. I doubt we will ever come to a satisfactory consensus.
I say, take it down to the lowest common denominator. Overturn Roe versus Wade. Let the people decide. City, County, State, National level, whatever they decide. Only let the smallest most cohesive group trump. A City can outlaw abortion in a County where it is legal. A County can allow abortion in a State where it is illegal. A State can outlaw abortion even if the National government allows it. Everybody gets their way. Kinda.
It's not probably what most people want but maybe it's something we can agree is better than anything else we're likely to get. In the meantime, this issue, which takes up a disproportionate amount of national discourse, tears the country apart.

I think the morning after pills and other emergency contraception pills are very useful and need to be available USA wide.
I also feel that a woman should be able to choose medical procedures with her doctor. Even abortion. It saddens me to hear of attacks on abortion centers.
I believe they are available, on request, without prescription, nationwide.
I believe in a woman's absolute right to control her body but this endless fight must be put to rest sometime. It impedes progress we might otherwise make.
