I would argue that you ought to find common ground and work to curtail the procedure to a more reasonable level then it currently exists. I think 95% of Americans, and Europeans for that matter, agree that an elective abortion at 35 weeks is hideous and shouldn't be allowed, yet it's perfectly legal and any efforts to restrict the elective portion of the procedure are consistently voted down and/or vetoed.

It's not just abortion, there's a tendency within politics in general (within the US, in any case) to look to polarize an issue instead of trying to find common ground. Why? Because fundraising doesn't do as well for advocacy groups when compromises are found. If the NRA arrounced tomorrow they had joined with the Brady lobby to establish 'common-sense' ownership and self defense laws, neither the NRA nor the Brady Foundation could expect anywhere near the level of fundraising they currently enjoy while they refuse to give an inch for 'your constitutional rights' or 'the life and health of even just one child'.
