I guess you don't know much about the Teller case.
The PEOPLE HAVE PUT THE POLICY IN PLACE (the law) THROUGH DEMOCRATIC MEANS. Their legislature enacted a law against ALL partial-birth abortions except to save the life of the mother (which doctors will tell you is NEVER necessary! If they need to save the mother's life; a Cesarean section is the appropriate procedure.)
Corruption in the executive branch state prevented that law from being enforced against Tiller, who had blatantly ignored the will of the people and continued performing the horrid procedure at will.
Tiller was a genuine monster; how he could attend ANY church is mind-boggling.
