Well, I would argue otherwise since we vote for our representatives and Presidents. I mean, most of them, if not all, would vote whichever way polls say the American public thinks. If the majority of the American public wanted to do away with abortion it would be outlawed. My opinion, but I think it is based on provable criteria. Typically reps from liberal constituencies vote one way and reps from conservative constituencies vote the opposite.

The Supreme Court pretty much decided that issue with the exception of the restrictions added by some states. I live in Texas where almost all state officials are very conservative and I don't recall ever considering abortion as an issue that would decide my vote. As a matter of fact, I've voted for people who are anti-abortion. Abortion is just one issue. Many factors go into making a decision on a candidate. After you vote, you minuscule means of control is gone.
