74. I don't see a compromise
because the sides are arguing different issues.

The anti-abortion side is arguing that abortion is murder and a civil society outlaws murder.

The pro-choice side argues that "it's my body, I have a right to make the decisions that affect it".

You can compromise on issues if you are talking about a single issue, but this is two different issues.

It is possible for each side to totally understand and even respect the other side's premise and still hold to whichever one carries a higher importance to them.
