Can we compromise on abortion?

Perhaps because you support that atrocity and you do not seem to be listening.

Medically, abortion means loss of the fetus, for any reason, before it is able to survive outside the womb. The term covers accidental or spontaneous ending, or miscarriage, of pregnancy as well as deliberate termination.-- Definitions of abortion - Wikipedia

Only ugly men and women think they are legitimate.

Maybe actually do some thinking as how did a legislator get into that position?
Medical and Legal definitions are different things. That doesn't change the fact that the legal definition of abortion does not include ectopic pregnancy terminations.
Yes, please feel free to do some.Maybe actually do some thinking as how did a legislator get into that position?

Why do you have much trouble reading and/or understanding basic English? Bizarre.

Nice try, but let me show you the definition of "politician":
a person who is active in party politics.
a seeker or holder of public office, who is more concerned about winning favor or retaining power than about maintaining principles.
a person who holds a political office.
a person skilled in political government or administration; statesman or stateswoman.
an expert in politics or political government.
a person who seeks to gain power or advancement within an organization in ways that are generally disapproved. -- Definition of politician | Dictionary.com
All of which is tangential for defining a legislator. The process of crafting legislation involves many people from different spheres. A legislator could be a doctor, a teacher, a rocket scientist, an ordinary citizen committee member or some or a different profession, not just politicians.

A man can't force by rape a woman to have his child. HORROR

Doctors aren't lawyers and they don't want to practice in states with abortion bans.
Nor in any other state of which I am aware.

I hate to tell you about your own country but that isn't quite right. Abortion was indeed decriminalised at the national level in Canada but there are still varying regulatory restrictions at provincial level. Those restrictions are generally much more rational and reasonable than anything that is currently being debated in the US and so rarely (need to) get any attention.
The point is that the situation in Canada (and here in the UK) already represent a compromise in the context of the OP, albeit arguably much closer to the "no conditions at all" extreme than the "no abortions at all" one.

As we see over and over again, even with basic definitions you act like you are the real expert and those who write them are wrong. It is impossible to take you seriously as you invent your own source(s). Serious educators simply do not do that.
As per the Oxford Languages Dictionary, exactly agreeing with what I have previously written and contrary to others claiming legislator equates with politician, here is the definition of legislator:
You're speaking to the differences in availability I touched on.
Different provinces vary in what they'll cover by public insurance (and in what sorts of clinics physically exist in the province), and there's a general rule that any insured health care service can't be performed on a private fee-for-service basis.
