Sure, that's what's great about democracy, we can vote for what the majority wants. I was responding to what cbanek wrote, as it seemed to me that cbanek did not correctly understand some of the pro-lifers viewpoints.

Sometimes what the majority wants, is wrong.

You can't really vote majorities when human rights issues are involved.

Basically same thing with other property rights. Can't vote a person out of their belongings.
