Neither of those would end the issue. There would just be a fight to repeal the amendment, but an amendment probably wouldn't pass in the first place.

How would you solve/end this issue, and get as much as possible of both sides to agree with the solution and end the debate?

The obvious answer is you can't. Well at least, politically. It would take a huge societal change for the abortion debate to be settled. It's not like issues where everybody has the same goal, but takes different paths to achieve it (e.g. Reducing poverty through either liberal (school choice, credits, vouchers, philanthropy) or leftist solutions (unions, government spending)).

No, this is an issue that won't be settled via legislation, because both sides want different things entirely.

What about a hypothetical new technology?

And do you think there are any other issues out there, like abortion, where both sides want entirely different things?

For those recently saying they'd simply ban it... how would that end the controversy anymore than legalizing it did?

Any new thoughts on this?

(and I'm kind of amazed the GOP Congress hasn't tried anything on this front yet)

We're never going to have a solution if we don't think about what it could be.

If you don't want to, you don't have to read this thread or post in it.
