    Cons: "We don't want to ban abortion, we just want to return sovereignty over the issue to the states."

    States: make abortion a right

    Cons: "No, not like that..."

    he should be fine then, since the US isnt run as any kind of democracy at all, certainly not a pure one.

    There's a reason that most of the "founding fathers" only wanted slaveowning rich white men to run the country.

    Yeah, democracy sucks when the people are ignorant, vile, and selfish.

    What the people in Ohio did was realize that empathy and human rights were good. They rejected fascist culture war bullshit and I wish them the best. I hope my state could act like this.

    This is the perfect situation where a purely democratic vote is appropriate (not that we should even have to vote on this, but I digress). This doesn't affect your wholesome, small-town voter at all. All they have to do is not have an abortion, and they can make abortion illegal within their own life just like that. Of course people are going to vote for the freedom of their own choice as to whether they have to carry a parasitic body within their own. They should have that freedom to do it or not to do it.
