In short, if men disagree with abortion let them keep it in their pants, or use some kind of birth control. It does take men to create the problem. And then, when it's done, it's men that think they should control the woman/women.
Good luck with that. Maybe you can, but, I've never been able to control women.

Why is this?
If the US is a democracy then majority rules should still have an impact on policy, not 9 Supreme court justices.
I have thought about this issue for years and have determined that the solution is quite simple, the US constitution does not say anything about it, therefore it should be left up to the States. If the Supreme court were honest they would say that they did not have jurisdiction. As a result some states would legalize and some would make it illegal and others would have a variety of restrictions. Then it would be very easy to measure how a State's policy impacts the health and welfare of the people. Then, 44 years later, you would have a very clear evidence as to how each policy will impact your people and State. Instead because of Blackmun's ruling we have a festering, puss wound that is dividing this country 44 years later.
But that isn't what happened. Instead Blackmun's ruling is to put your hands over your eyes and see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
That policy has been a total and complete failure. We don't want, need or authorize the Supreme court to make laws and ignore the US constitution.
