I kind of see what you're saying but the majority of pro choicers only put a fraction of a percent of the thought into their arguments as you do. You are a thinker. They are followers.
Anyways, what would be an example of a "compromise", in your eyes? I don't see what you could have in mind.
Not sure there is a compromise on this issue, because again, the pro-life argument doesn’t really allow for it. Life above all else.
Pro-choice people want guarantees beyond mere words that women will be protected, will be able to full and free lives as men can, that they won’t be compelled into motherhood, and so forth.
Abortion is really the only way to guarantee this, right now. However, if Republicans invested in a technology that could safely extract a living zygote or fetus from a woman, and the public funding to provide a healthy and educated life for that child, and the medicine/technology that would safely, reversibly allow women to prevent pregnancy 100% of the time while still enjoying purposeless sex as men can, then yes, liberals could be convinced that women’s rights are protected while outlawing abortion.
But that technology doesn’t yet exist, and conservatives show little support for the public programs needed to fund these children, and as long as a woman can get accidentally pregnant or purposefully made pregnant against her will in a land where abortion is illegal, then fear of being made a second-class citizen again doesn’t seem unwarranted.
Abortion isn’t a solution I like, but we don’t have a lot of options yet. I keep hoping one of these conservative x-illionaires will invest in the technology to abort zygotes without killing them, as this would do wonders toward resolving the abortion debate.
One of the dumbest hot chicks I ever slept with was still smart enough to pay the couple thousand dollars to receive the birth control arm implant that was 100% effective for at least 5 years at a time from what she told me.
Sure money is a barrier to entry for women who want to have sex without consequences, but what do you think that is, a human right?
Nope. It's a privilege. And privileges have always been reserved for those with the most resources in our society. The exact same concept would take place if this hypothetical technology you referenced would be made manifest one day.
Only those with extra resources would have access to it. That's just how the world works my friend. Hopefully you can at least agree that my logic is sound.
