Let me get this straight. You think that a majority of the americans favor outlawing abortion? You think that issues such as this should be decided by a majority? When you speak of justices are you referring to the court that went against all of its philosophical beliefs to intervene in a state courts ruling about a state law? But of course it is likely that you will get what you want. The current court seems to have no problem with ignoring or rewriting the constitution to suit its conservative agenda.

In many respects, it could be argued that we could have done much better
than the US Constitution.
