Neither Side Is Ready to Bridge the Abortion Gap | Opinion
Emotions will be fraught, and like any difficult conversation, I'm not sure sides that disagree with one another will be ready to talk immediately. One of the questions we'll have to ask ourselves, frankly, is whether or not our state representatives and government are capable of having these conversations. The citizenry will naturally begin to have those conversations, but will it just be a case of power politics — where Republican majorities in certain states say "the conversation is over, we are ending abortion," and in Democratic states, you have a similar conversation: "We say the conversation is over. We are allowing abortion."
