But does this mean that there is no room for compromise when groups hold radically different viewpoints on major issues? Not necessarily. For example, in a June 2003 Time/CNN poll, 49% of respondents identified themselves as pro-choice and 46% identified as pro-life. But in the same poll, 81% indicated that abortion should be always legal or sometimes legal, suggesting that pro-life and pro-choice are not discrete positions but allow room for compromise.How do legislators legislate policy conflicts that are defined inReligion and politics series (Georgetown University)Church and stateUnited StatesCulture conflictUnited StatesLegislationUnited StatesLegislatorsUnited StatesElectronic books.Church and stateCulture conflictLegislationLegislators322/.1/0973Oldmixon Elizabeth Anne985870MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451851203321Uncompromising positions2253386UNINA
