&gt; They want people to be able to decide what they do with their own bodies.<p>I actually understand the argument. For all the rest of you know, I actually wrote the above response myself (I didn&#x27;t, but I could have).<p>The counterargument is that there are absolutely two people involved if a woman decides to abort on her due date. Even in liberal Western Europe abortions must be performed before certain gestation dates.<p>Now, this sort of absolutism makes a kind of logical sense. The kind that also makes legalization of heroin a defensible position. And there are smart, compassionate people who want to legalize heroin. Just not the President and every candidate in the Democratic primary.<p>Point being, there&#x27;s no room for compromise on the abortion issue from the left. We could be talking about eight months versus seven months, what counts as a &quot;medical exception&quot;, what forms of enforcement are fair, etc. But we&#x27;re not. There&#x27;s absolutely no room for compromise.
