If we are going with the way the majority of Americans feel about abortion the law would look drastically different than it does today.
The nation is about equally split Pro-Choice, Pro-Life...with the Pro-Choice holding a small majority.
However, as Anna Quinlen wrote in a very interesting editorial in Newsweek a few months ago...the Pro-Choice majority is, in itself DRASTICALLY split with people who support abortion only with major restrictions taking the HUGE majority over people who support abortion on demand.
Most people support abortion in cases of rape, incest, the life of the mother, in cases of extreme deformity or medical disability, and often...only during the first trimester. They do not support abortion as a method of birth control and they do not support having to pay for the abortions of women who use abortions as birth control.
If the law reflected the TRUE opinions of Americans...it would be a drastically different issue.
A question for ProudDem: What is wrong with calling the act of any 3 adults who get married a "marriage"? Why should it be limited to 2 consenting adults?
