Not true.
The middle ground with social issues generally lies with increased government intervention and regulation. This is how things such as gun ownership and abortion can remain legal but who qualifies for gun ownership or abortion is limited and closely monitored. Until the black market increases.
There are numerous arguments for pro-life and pro-choice and to be pro something doesn't mean you agree with every argument related to your side. You will never be able to make everyone happy. However, a middleground will be able to appease a significant percentage of people who are pro-life and pro-choice. Then people can fight it out over liberal/increased gov't involvement versus conservative/decreased gov't involvement and not the actual issue of abortion. It's a neverending battle.
