The idea that Roe (1973) kickstarted "extreme cultural polarization" implies that the 1960s was a period of cultural tranquility and comity. That's a view of history that is, depending on how charitable you are, either idiosyncratic or idiotic.https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1522638122667888645 …

How about the dems suggest a compromise? Let's ban abortion for republican women, ban same sex marriage, contraception etc. for republican families. Why insist on one law for all? Going by state does not work because there are both republican and democratic voters in all states.

I’m a pro-choice Republican. And it wasn’t so many years ago that I saw former Sen. Hank Brown (CO) at a “Republicans for Choice” event. But that sort of thing is even less common now.

Yes! Many pro life Dems” back then. But the thing was Irish Catholics didn’t talk about abortion as a political issue! There were real problems to address - like living wages, collective bargaining, and a social safety net! It was a private matter. It should still be!

So much of politics is branding and if people more often identify with the party brand first, then fall in line with the policies. Parties don’t want compromise because it becomes harder for consumers to distinguish the brands.

Back in 1972 the pro-life position was almost exclusively Catholic as well, with the evangelical protestant position being decidedly pro-choice. It wasn't until after Green v Connally that that started to shift.
