Try to follow along here...we are governed by a document called the constitution, not by popular vote.

The constitution lists powers granted to the federal government, it specifies areas where the feds have the say. It also clearly says that all other matters are to be handled by states.

Nowhere in the constitution does it mention abortion or privacy. This doesn't mean abortion is illegal. It means the feds don't have jurisdiction, that states should decide the question.

Any state where most of the citizens support abortion, is likely to elect a state legislature that also supports it.

That's. How. It's. Supposed. To. Work.

Instead, it was legalized by activist judges who aren't elected, and therefore who aren't accountable to anybody. That's what's contrary to democracy.

Christ, you are slow and dense at times.
