Because I don't actually personally believe that abortion should take place at nine months. I used that as a starting point for our ill-fated attempt at a compromise, but it seems you didn't actually want to compromise.
This does seem a roadblock. Unfortunately for you, the roadblock means we go back to the default, which is where we are now: abortion being legal up to viability. It's not about me failing to convince you that abortion should be allowed, because it already is allowed. It's you who have failed to convince me that things should change: that abortion should be restricted to the degree you want.
States like Alabama are pushing back. So I wouldn't be so sure.
This is a silly internet message board. You convincing me, or vice versa is pretty irrelevant to the overall world. It's just a way to share ideas and think critically. ---
