The ugly side of democracy, where the majority rules.

I don't think a Supreme Court decision equates
to democracy or majority rule either way.  Put
abortion rights to a nationwide vote, then we'll
see.

It sure is democracy. The dissenting judges were in the minority.

As far as a national vote, the majority of the people do not have the guts. I agree with you.......if allowed, but the gap is slim anymore.
