You contradict yourself! You state that Louisiana's ban on abortion is not the true will of the people and you go on to show statistics from across the entire country. Did you know that 62% of percentage polls are just made up bullshite?
The people of Louisiana have spoken...and the majority vote Republican. That means we don't approve of abortion.

This was actually voted on by the citizenry and not something passed by legislators. If what you say is true, then maybe people should participate more in casting votes than just answering poll questions.

Not sure how these two headlines are related in any way.

Louisiana makes up about 1.5% of the US population.

Why the F would Louisiana give 2 shits about who the other 98.5% want to kill?

You need to poll at a state or local level to get a real feel for public opinion at a state level.

Is your IQ above room temperature?

My public stance is pro choice but your thread is bad and you should feel bad.

Then the people will take action and vote the appropriate representatives in that align more closely to their views. There is a democratic process to fix the perceived problem. I’m pro-choice, but the sanctity of the democratic process is infinitely more important to me than any other issue. If the process isn’t followed, we are not a democracy.

Valid polls do not show this.

And, obviously, this wouldn't apply on a state to state level given that such a large portion of our population is limited to few Democratic states.

In other words, your entire post is dishonest.

And, finally, you aren't a real poster.

Not so sure your take is accurate, but I know mine is.


The new green deal is not the true will of the people, or soft on crime initiatives. Yet the country is paying dearly for this shite that was defeated in DC.

You mean the law that was passed by the LA legislature, and signed by the LA governor that bans abortion upon RvW being overturned isn't the will of the people of LA? You stupid or something?

This is why the state legislators are literally shaking at the thought of the trigger law being ruled unconstitutional, b/c then they'll have to actually create legislation AND put their names on it.

The people elected their legislators. The legislators create and pass laws. If the people don't like the law(s), then they elect different legislators to change the laws the people don't support. Laws should never be passed/rejected based upon "polls" of the people.

Then the people can change the law.

State law is not difficult to change.

Ok. Tell me why.

quote:

Well, let's start here. Even if true, what does an average % for the entire country have to do with Louisiana?

quote:

Ok, we're back to your original assertion. Are you going to provide any evidence for it further down? Let's see...

quote:

I personally believe abortion after the first trimester should be limited to only the most rare medical necessities. A near-total ban on abortion is on the other extreme end of the spectrum than what liberals want.


No, still what you believe personally. One more line...

quote:

Extremes rarely work well, for either side


Another assertion.

Yeah, that's not how any of this works. Louisiana's law will be what it will be, and legislators in following cycles will run on this issue. At that point, you'll get a true sense of what voters want. Until then, your point of view is just that...your point of view.
