The American judicial process does not attempt to determine "the will of the people". We live in a Republic, a nation of law, and I know you know that.

The law stated that having or trying to perform an abortion is a crime, except by "medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother." The suit claimed that the laws were unconstitutionally vague and abridged the rights guaranteed to pregnant women by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution. In Dallas County, Texas the district attorney Henry Wade was the defendant in the case. A three-judge district court ruled for "Jane Roe", but refused to grant against the enforcement of the laws.

Basically, if we're gonna make it law that women can only have abortions when they are raped or if the pregnancy will result in a fatality, then women will what - have to prove they were raped to get an abortion? Is that all they'd have to do? That's so easy. Men never get away with raping women, so this should be no problem.
OK, I'm in the pro-life camp now guys, you've changed my mind through the Democratic process! Hurrah. Now if we can just convince Glow and MLE we can lock this thread and call it a day.
