Pro-life people aren't going to just "accept" abortion to keep allies with them, because to them its literal child murder.
No one's asking them to 'accept' abortion. But they are mature about even the issue they believe is literal child murder. Look at how they did not oppose Tulsi or RFK Jr.
Tulsi and RFK Jr. won't be in charge of anything abortion-related, and aren't out there advocating for abortion, and also haven't claimed to have had (or their significant others to have had) abortions.
I agree. But that's my point. Pence's PAC tried to sink RFK by citing abortion. The abortion groups are more mature and tolerant of disagreement. I can definitely imagine a world where they would have said that no pro-abortion should be in the cabinet.
Imagine if Biden had nominated two genuine anti-abortions to positions, even ones that were irrelevant to hte opinion.
Lots of corners right have been for years saying the Right must give up its stance on abortion or it will never get the women vote, its in fact still a major talking point about why women continue to vote blue.
But they are mature about even the issue they believe is literal child murder
This is literally the Leftie meme about centrism. "What if we only murder half of them." Its fucking murdering children, there is no maturity that should be had. Everyone involved should be lynched for their horrific sins, and its only because we live in a society that we even hesitate let alone negotiate with them.
RFK is in a position to do nothing regarding such a policy, and he literally describes a vision he prayed to receive from God as his life's mission to save children from disease and unhealthy living. Whatever his particular stance is on it, its unlikely to be the majority's.
And the same applies with Tulsi's position, but I'd absolutely reject a woman to lead anything like the position she is given. But I'm a minority in my own party regarding women's "rights."
I'm willing to compromise on more reasonable positions (safety, disease, etc the rare cases) to push my goals further (of which this is necessary to reach that further goal), but not willing to compromise on the issue as a whole.
You say: "I'm not changing my opinion on abortion." But that is not what I was talking about. It was about being welcoming to people who disagree, which you do, and which I pointed out the anti-abortion movement also does - as opposed to the Very Online Right, which makes heresy-hunting a hobby.

Almost like it's a completely irrelevant opinion.

So you think RFK Jr. and Tulsi should have been rejected, or am I not getting you correctly?

I think we're talking past each other.
