It was voted down across the country,The question of yours that I was responding to had nothing to do with "morals." You asked "Why is it we can vote for abortion, but never seem to be able to vote it down?" I believe that directly involves how many in the electorate support a measure.Because the majority do not agree with making abortion illegal. That's why.Ireland votes this month on abortion...he's just spewing the leftists\'s swill
Why is it we can vote for abortion, but never seem to be able to vote it down?
I reckon its the exact same reason children can protest guns but never protest abortions.
Before it was made legal, the majority consensus was that abortion was immoral.
Now after years of being made legal, the consensus was that that it is not ideal, but is OK.
The same happened with slavery, only in reverse.
Before slavery was made illegal, the consensus was that it was not ideal, but that it was OK.
Now years after being made illegal, the majority consensus is that it is not moral.
That is because people are sheep. They just adjust their morality to the perceived moral authority. And your point is exactly?
What you have done is called a logical fallacy by appealing to the people. The fact that a great majority of people either oppose of favor something in no way justifies whether it is moral or not.
Your theory that people are sheep and that we all decided slavery was not okay once it was illegal is pretty skewed. I seem to remember a Civil War over that question and no one was being very sheep like.
But I do genuinely thank you for not wishing me dead, yet, which usually happens when I go to an abortion thread.
No, I remember not too long ago in the US when people were allowed to vote for or against gay marriage. It was voted down across the country, so the courts came in and made them see things differently.
Votes are only as good as they are "Progressive", otherwise they need to be stricken down or ignored.
Do you want another example? The Dims needed Ted Kennedy's vote for Obamacare, but he was diagnosed with brain cancer. They then scrambled to try and change the laws so that there would be no election to replace him, so they could appoint a stooge to vote for Obamcare. However, they failed and Scott Brown was elected, who ran on stopping Obamacare. So the voters voted to stop Obamacare, trouble is, they then used Reconciliation to get around his vote.
So please, spare me the democracy is respected by Progs speech.
I can assure you, they are more fascist than the inner most aspect of Hitler's rectum
Not in Maine, it wasn't. Live and let live is our motto.
I'm not exactly following all that stuff about Progressives, but considering that Republicans have been in charge in Congress for eight years now, are you sure what you're saying is based in reality?
