This is a Republic, not a democracy. We do not vote on issues in this nation, we vote for people to vote on those issues, which I'm sure you're well aware of.

Abortion should be a state issue; the SCOTUS stripped it and took it to a federal level using that oddly unwritten privacy clause. Eventually it might return to a state issue and if your state is a democracy, you'll have the ability to vote on the issue.

SCOTUS is only supposed to rule on issues regarding The Constitution. THAT'S IT.

At least, that's the way our Founding Fathers intended it. Where is abortion mentioned in The Constitution?
