Holding out on the abortion issue sure worked out for us here in Michigan.  From "voting our morals" we got new abortion rights and a shitload of gun laws.  I almost forgot the redistricting changes to insure Rs can't win again.  Worked out great, if you're a commie.

I care far more about an unborn child's right to life, than helping a rootless metropolitan avoid a slight increase in taxes.

Federal IRS taxes - same thing.  It's not a human on your taxes, until its born.  

Somewhat hinky examples, but the point remains - a fetus is not defined and treated as a human. Until that is unerversally accepted that it is - this is a losing fight.  So far, that isn't working - and I doubt it ever will.

By no medical or even federal definition of person (1 U.S. Code § 8) is there a baby in her belly. Period.

Except one is literally you decided to suck out a baby, limb by limb, and the other is owning an inanimate object.

Also, the supreme court made this call. I guess we should stop filing suit over shit so we don't risk future elections. Fuck, I may as well sign up for the DNC at this rate.

The Supreme Court made the call that abortion should be decided by the states, not the federal government. They did not rule on the legality or morality of abortion. Not sure why you would think otherwise.

The Supreme Court has one job . .. to determine if laws, rules, or legislation are Constitutional.

Just because you WANT to think they ruled against abortion does not make it so.

Sure, let's make a fair abortion law.

A woman can abort her fetus at any time. In doing so, no one can be charged with her murder for any reason after that.

The case has been made. No name calling necessary.

People want the government out of their lives when it comes to individual decisions about abortion, and republicans lose elections when they run on abortion restrictions. Simple as that.

I won't go so far as to call anyone a moron, we're in agreement on the foundations if not the practical realities.
That said, I understand how someone would feel that way when faced with an accelerationist.
ETA thus my earlier "virtue signal" comment. When presented with the political realities, society isn't at a point where hardline abortion abolition is a winner on the local level most places.

I understand the pro-life position perfectly. And I respect it.

Ultimately you have to decide if you value a grown, developed, adult human more, or a non-viable developing fetus more. There are situations where you have to prioritize the well-being of one over the other.

That’s the thing.

You can’t satisfactorily legislate a topic that includes the possibility for countless unknown or unforeseen circumstances.

“Medical necessity”. Sounds great in theory. In reality, what does that mean? Who decides it? What if different doctors give different opinions?

I don’t like abortion. I despise it actually, especially as a form of birth control. But what I despise even more is government regulation on things I believe they have no business regulating, and as such I will almost always err on the side of individual choice.

Almost all legislation is on topics that have countless unknowns and unforeseen circumstances. Take homicide for example. There is legal, justifiable homicide and illegal homicide (murder). A process exists to differentiate between the two.

Legislators can surely craft law that defines medical necessity. In fact, the Florida law simply requires two doctors, any two, to agree on it’s necessity.

Birth's that pose a legitimate risk to the life of the mother (i.e. ectopic pregnancy)are not elective abortions.

Which is ultimately true.

If one really believes that they will have to stand before God and account their actions in their life, I guess they have to ask how it will go over when they say "yeah I supported murdering children in the womb...but it was a political calculation..."  

You have the side that pretty much supports murdering children, maiming them, and ultimately will be pushing fucking them.  And the other side, well it really isn't a side since a nice chunk of that is never going to compromise on murdering the unborn.  So they aren't on the "same side" as the secular conservative who thinks that abortion is fine as there is a good chance the kids murdered will grow up to be liberals, and maybe they left will not assault their rights quite has hard.  Maybe buy a few more years before that Glock 19 is illegal after all. A few million more dead babies is a small price to pay right?

You have the left pushing abortion until the moment of birth, and not the fringe. as long as one toe is in the mother go ahead and kill it no matter how viable.  But that will be a compromise I guess that has to be made as well.
