Condorcet Rules of Order Resist Manipulation Policy Decisions Condorcet's rule enacts the most central policy. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. Several proposals have notable supporters but none has a majority so no action has been taken.
Most reps say deadlock and delay are worse than any of the proposals.
The abortion controversy exemplifies how an issue can polarize communities and remain unresolved for decades. The solution starts with preference ballots to let council members rank all versions of a bill at once. Then they can find the Condorcet winner, the version can beat each of the others in 1 against 1 comparisons. If the version with, say, a killer amendment isn't preferred over others by most reps, it won't be enacted and it won't delay them from enacting a better policy. Enacting a law is like electing a mayor, only 1 of many candidates can win.
