I couldn't, and wouldn't, make a similar case for cancer, because it
at least has the likelihood of being "solved."  The difficult question
of abortion -- not that I consider it particularly difficult -- is
permanently unsolvable.

Unsolvable things aren't uninteresting in and of themselves, and for
some, myself included, an unsolvable riddle if particularly, if
perversely, appealing.  But certain categories of contentious issues,
abortion being a primary example, never generate light by being
discussed, because everyone has already made up their mind, frequently
wrapped in an irrational paradigm.  It generates heat only, no light.

Yes, there is.
