Not really, no - because the two sides here are those who would force a woman to have a child and those who would not. There's no negotiation between those two things that promotes human life or wellbeing.
Just look at the example you chose to frame the question with. Five months pregnant and wants an abortion because her boyfriend left? Firstly....nonsense. Secondly, what are you prepared to do to stop her if so?
Pairing it up with comments on clothing is the height of irony, as you suggest that maybe we ought to be less controlling with respect to dress and more controlling with respect to a uterus. Hands off the one, hands all up in the other...as a negotiation.
More broadly, there should be no negotiation between government and your/our private religious beliefs in a secular nation. That's between you and your silly gods...spiritually speaking. You want to sit at home and think about how irresponsible these imaginary women are? How poorly their decisions reflect based upon your own moral code? Good for you - you don't need government approval for that. It's not as if there can actually be any negotiation between a maximalist stance with maximalist objectives and it's antithesis, practically speaking - only capitulation. Which is how we got ourselves into this mess with the panty sniffers in the first place - and which will clearly never be enough for them no matter what anyone else agrees to.
In sum, the whole thing is a bad faith argument for a bad faith goal. Maybe you ought to find something else to be "bipartisan" about, some thing where some girls womb isn't the bargaining chip for civic comity?
