this is a dilemma. The states' electoral colleges elected Trump. We did not have majority rule as a people. Is this right or wrong? Churchill said, [I won't put it in quotes because it may not be an exact quote]: Democracy is the best system of government in the world, and the worst system of government in the world. Well, so who knows,God? S/He is not talking.
Trump [so he got what he wanted, his name is everywhere] ...is saying that states should have the right to decide on the abortion issue. I am more in favor of the opinion that this is a woman's right to decide [didn't we pass ERA as a nation? We are a nation, not just a system of states.]
There is one good thing that could come of that, if it ever happened. Doubtful it would. But, here it is: If states were to decide the issue for themselves, this could prevent what's still happening in the midwest -- blowing up of abortion clinics. However, there would be hopeless women not wanting to raise a baby, not able to move to another state, possibly committing suicide or as in the old days, performing self-induced abortions that would often lead to the death of the baby and themselves. Of course, there are the obvious problems a woman and her children will have if she can't afford any more children and if her education is thwarted and so on and so on.
I believe these men who claim to be able to decide the issue for women on religious grounds have been reading a little too much of the old patriarchal parts of the Bible, such as passages in Corinthians and Timothy.
