We live in a country that is pretty divided on the issue of abortion. Rather than our current compromise (which effectively keeps abortion legal but permits states to make it very difficult or almost impossible to achieve), how about this alternative:
People born in even-numbered years can have abortions without restriction. People born in odd-numbered years are not allowed to have abortions under any circumstance.
Is this an acceptable alternative? If not, why not?
I suspect most people will find that to be an unacceptable alternative, but I’m curious to hear WHAT about it seems so unpalatable. And if it doesn’t seem problematic, I’d like to know why.
