"47 per cent of Americans described themselves as pro-abortion rights and 46 per cent as anti-abortion. It also found that 79 per cent believed abortion should be legal in either some or all circumstances."

This indicates that while there seems to be polarization and a split right down the middle, in fact there is middle ground. Under what circumstances? 

The pro-choice side has been as intransigeant as the pro-life one, and both extremes have used inflammatory language demonizing the other. 

While the extreme pro-lifers who believe life begins at conception cannot settle for anything but a total ban, those are a minority. Most Americans  would be happy with some limits, such as after the 4th month. 

The pro-choice side should stop ridiculing those with ethical concerns, and saying that they should accept what they consider murder because it isn't their body, that argument is useless.
