"It's hard to understand the most extreme position I can think up, which is held by such a small number of people that it's not even really worth discussing."

I’m confused by your first paragraph. Are you saying a parent should be able to kill a 12 year old?
> Are you saying a parent should be able to kill a 12 year old? Yes, that is the correct reading. Note: This is an extreme statement to prompt discussion, not a deeply held belief that everyone must share. It's not that I don't feel this way; but i feel more strongly that this is a question that shows the limits of what the state can do.

I read it as only children should be able to receive abortions (e.g. when they are 14).
I mean, the term "culture war" itself is part of the "conservative" vocabulary in that issue. So I can see why the whole thing is not easy.

That's not fair. Those extremists are succeeding in pushing their agenda.
Unless you can do that, it's not fair to claim that those extremists are succeeding in pushing anything.
Edit: I'm not going to individually address all of the dishonest rhetoric from the articles in the replies. The states have laws allowing abortion up to a certain number of weeks, and then after that don't make exceptions. I was referring to outright bans.

You failed at understanding the author.
It doesn't say the exact word "privacy" or "abortion", but what it does say is a lot closer to privacy than to abortion.
