I think many democrats including myself would be perfectly willing to support something of a compromise bill. I also think that an abortion at 24 weeks is utterly unacceptable, UNLESS the pregnancy is going to be fatal to the mother, or UNLESS it is a 14 yr old girl who was raped by her dad and kept inside the house(it has happened, go look it up), or any number of other unique circumstances.

The problem is, most republicans see things in black and white on this issue. Several such bills banning late-term abortions have been introduced in the past and had a lot of democratic support but it was the republicans who refused to pass it because it had allowances for special circumstances. Yes: a mother has the right to abort even a late term fetus if it is going to kill her. You can debate whether or not that is the right decision, but she should be allowed to make it. Anything else is just legislating religious moral perspective.
