Perhaps if our left wing weren't a bunch of extremists who wanted abortion up to the point of birth (and in some cases after birth) maybe there wouldn't be such a push from the right to ban it.
The nations with the most permissive abortion laws in Europe are comparable to the states with the least permissive abortion laws in the US. In the 90s the EvangeloCons tried pushing for laws requiring women seeking abortions to go through counselling first: very similar to what Germany requires today. This was considered "too conservative".
So in the face of an opponent who will compromise not one iota, why not go all-in for a full ban?
