During the recent vice-presidential debate, the starkly opposing views on abortion between Republicans and Democrats were highlighted, with Vice President Kamala Harris advocating for ending the Senate filibuster to ensure national access to abortion rights.
Democrat Tim Walz has aligned with Kamala Harris on abortion rights, rejecting any compromise on state and regional differences, affirming that such compromises would violate fundamental women's rights.
The article draws a comparison between the abortion debate and Prohibition, illustrating how both issues have historically divided the nation across various social groups, yet suggests that a resolution could mirror Roosevelt's approach of allowing states to decide.
The analogy of Prohibition is used to show that like abortion today, it polarized the nation, pitting different groups against each other, ultimately resolved by transforming the debate back to state jurisdiction.
