Sometimes the will of the People is evil, and the job of a just goverment is to turn away that evil will and do what is just, regardless. It's called "leadership."

It's called dictatorship. In a representative democracy when elected officials don't follow the will of the people they are replaced. That's just how it works. As for the "will of the people" involving abortion, it wasn't the will of the people, it was the will of nine people -- or was it five of nine people? Get your facts straight.

When elected officials allow mass murder on their watch they are removed and imprisoned, and spat upon by history. When they give up, they are mocked and not elected.

If you think it's dictatorship, go to a land where killing weaklings is government policy. Take a time machine to Germany, 1939.
