It's simply untrue that the majority of Americans want abortion outlawed. <a href="http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm">The poll results</a> are very clear about this.
Americans want abortion to remain available 3 to 1 over those who want it outlawed completely. Two out of three Americans want Roe v Wade to stand. In the latest round of polls, 56% of Americans want abortion laws relaxed or left unchanged. 53% identify as Pro-Choice. 57% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
I'll put up with no more of this "will of the people" nonsense from the anti-abortion faction. That includes "disinterested" rabble-rousers like Ustwo.
