> so that what "should" and "shouldn't" can be codified appropriately by the people. Sadly that's been repeatedly shown to be false. What we actually have is a system where the average person has zero influence on policy and a very small number of very wealthy people dictate what "should" and "shouldn't" be. The vast majority of Americans support the right to an abortion and yet here we have a small number of people taking that right from them.

> The vast majority of Americans support the right to an abortion For any reasonable definition of “right”, this simply isn’t true. 57% of Americans believe abortion “should be legal overall in all or most cases” - and only 23% believe it “should be legal in all cases” Less than a third - 28% - of Democrats believe abortion should be legal during the third trimester.
