It is unthinkable to allow some abortions. It is not the same as allowing some gun control. I completely agree that not everyone on either side is in total agreement with each other (which I think I also expressed in a previous post).

It is also a blob of cells to some pro-lifers. Some people are pro-life only because they believe abortion negatively impacts the physical and mental of the woman. I understand the different reasons for being pro-life and pro-choice. This thread is not my introduction to these issues so don't think you are trying to get me to understand anything.
Whether a middle ground appeases every pro-lifer or every pro-choicer is not something that the government should be concerned with. The point is that there IS a middle ground on the legal-illegal spectrum.
