So, let me get this straight:
Since abortion is legal in the US, we are therefore a pro-choice country. After all, the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. Therefore there should be no protests by anyone who disagrees with the Court's decision. No attempts to overturn this decision. We, as a nation, are happy with the Court's decision! Let no individual say otherwise.
Have I got it right? I'm told that I'm an awful person for not agreeing with implied consent, as it has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Those folks who don't like abortion better straighten themselves out, I suppose, eh?
(For the record, I am extremely pro-choice and a supporter of Planned Parenthood.)

Spiff, all those of us who don't agree with youa re saying is that there is a clear path to reform, and it works well. It is civil, respectful, and pretty well organized.
It is based on finding a majority of the jurisdiction involved that agrees with you, organizing them, and electing representatives that will follow your will.
It is not based on name calling or refusing to acknowledge the authority of the government. We have the greatest system in the world. It works.
