Would these leftists go one step further, and give the unborn a vote on whether or not to come to term?

Didn't think so...

This would be the end of our republic as we know it.

Once you open the door to weighted voting, then those in power will change the criteria of how votes are weighted, to remain in power endlessly.

If liberals were able to do this, they would give greater weight to liberals. They would give greater votes to favored groups, perhaps based on the liberal views of groups which were oppressed. They would give greater votes to those who are poor and dependent on the federal government, because after all, such people “need help”, and in the liberal view, should have more say in what “help” they get.

They would institutionalize the “What’s the Matter with Kansas” idea, in which liberals lament that Kansans vote Republican and doing so is against their own economic interests. If there were weighted voting, they would devalue the votes of places which don’t vote “correctly”.

Elections as we know them would cease to exist in such a system.

Liberal radical types sure don’t have any respect or appreciation of our constitional republic, and the manner in which power is divided and exercised, do they?
