Is compromise possible on abortion? The issue has become a wedge issue in national politics, a deciding factor in the nomination of Supreme Court justices, and the most visible front in the American culture wars. Historian and legal scholar Mary Ziegler examines the history of the abortion debate to explore the ways in which advocates on either side of the abortion battle once sought common ground on issues from pregnancy discrimination to fetal research, showing how a diverse range of views hardened into “pro-choice” and “pro-life” categories in response to party politics and strategic decision. When and why was it no longer possible to find common ground? Are the middle-ground solutions still available? By addressing these questions, this dialogue asks how we got where we are today and where the abortion debate might take us next.
