The Supreme Court? Is that not the judicial body that said abortion must be legal in all 50 states, and that the people in those states have virtually no say in the matter?

Uh yes they did on January 22, 1973 with a 7-2 for Roe in Roe V. Wade, and I beleive that the only person who was involved in that case who is sitting on the court now, Renquist, voted no.

Sorry to say but abortion is still the law of the land from a flawed Supreme Court ruling but that soon maybe changing with a favorable court towards ending partial birth abortion(one step at a time), with the tireless efforts of those who wish to see abortion ended, with such tactics as good honest people going out in the January cold and demonstrating that Roe was wrong.

On the other handit looks like you're fighting a losing battle. The 3 major major pro-drug intiatives that the pro-drug lobby pushed(Arizona, Nevada, and Ohio) all were dealt resounding defeats in last November's election. I do not want to be too confident, since confidence breeds apathy, but it looks like the tide is turning.

And oh yeah dude, 100,000 pot smokers on the mall is nothing new. People just saw that a couple of weekends ago, and basically rejected their message of such signs as "Smoke weed, not Iraqi's".

JMO, but you must kick yourself that you weren't around for the glory days of the leftist drug culture, the late 60's.

I used to do the same thing, but I grew up.

Good - I'm glad the people in those states were able to make their own decisions. Why can't the people of California be afforded the same opportunity?

Just curious - how do you know that?

And the initiative in DC in last November's election was passed with 78% voting in the affirmative.
Did you forget that one or do you not consider it a major major (?) pro-drug intiative?
