robbing banks taps into a more universally believed moral than abortion though. We're definitely discussing the boundaries of Overton's Window. What policies will society tolerate? Something America has going for it is a federation of states where the people of the state mostly decide the policies they live by, hopefully guided by objective morals.Just because a large group supports robbing banks doesn’t mean it’s a moral position to run on.
Given we have this system and more than half the country is against banning abortion, obviously the lack of universality of "abortion is murder" is not within Overton's Window for the whole country. Let each state decide what laws are within Overton's Window for them.
But no. We have politico's that demand their prescription be applied to the whole country. Dems want a nationwide legalization of abortion on demand all the way up to birth. And that's just batshit crazy. That's a political turd. And Repubs want a national absolute ban of abortion. That's a political turd two. Neither position is in the national Overton's Window. Probably should let the states handle it. Although I think a federal law that bans abortion after the first trimester would fit Overton's Window at a national level, and then if states want to ban it earlier, so be it.
