CMV: Abortion will never be solved without major technological advances in birth control.

Some large portion of the US population will always believe that abortion is morally equivalent to murdering a baby (population A). Some other large portion of the population believe in some form of “my body my choice” mostly due to wanting complete control over if and when they will become a mother or father to a child (population B).

Any real resolution would either involve changing the minds of A or changing the minds of B. My base assumption is neither of these options will ever be possible.

My insight is that A is a moral issue whereas B is a technological issue. There is no changing the view of A, but there is a technological solution to make B’s view comparable with A’s view.

If we were able to develop a form of birth control that had the following conditions: 

a) Free, and easily accessible to anyone who wants to be sexually active. 

b) Almost no effort to to use. Something analogously as simple as pressing a button for it to be on and another button for it to be off. (Think orders of magnitude easier than putting on a condom) 

c) Virtually risk free and side effect free 

d) Easy to determine if a partner was using the birth control. 

e) Having sex on this birth control felt identical to having sex not on this birth control. 

f) virtually perfectly effective while on, and perfectly ineffective while off.

If all these conditions are met, we could ban abortion completely.

Group A would be okay with it since abortion is banned and they could always choose not to use the birth control. Group B would be okay with it since with the birth control they would have complete control over if any when they wanted to have a child while being as sexually active as they want.

Abortion solved! (/s)

This is mostly me thinking out loud to find a solution to an unsolvable problem and I welcome any holes being poked in this argument.

Possible problems that I recognize

1. What if you want to have a baby, purposely become pregnant and it turns out the baby has severe abnormalities? Honestly no idea. This seems to fall somewhere on the eugenics continuum and I think this could be turned into a separate CMV. But I think this is the rare case in abortions although an important consideration.
2. The birth control I described will never be possible! This seems like a lack of imagination. No fundamental reason we won’t be able to hack the human body in such a way in the future even if it needs to be specialized per individual.

Ways to change my view:

Reasons why a majority of A or B would still not be happy with the birth control I described.

Real evidence that A or B actually could actually collectively change their mind without my magic birth control. 

Other much simpler solutions with today’s or future technology that would make group A and B jointly happy. 

Other conditions about the birth control that are required in order for B to use it. 

Convincing arguments that even with perfect technological progress in birth control, A would still be against it.

Ways to not change my view: 

A is stupid, naive, or evil! It doesn’t matter what they think! 

B is stupid, naive, or evil! It doesn’t matter what they think!

Except there is a huge number of people who are both anti-abortion and against birth control.
