If you consider maneuvering outside of the democratic process to get
what you want to be a "good-sized" win.....


The people of New Jersey never voted for this law, nor did they ever
vote for representatives in favor of this law, but they have this law
anyways.



Many people have attributed the entrenchment of anti-abortion activism
in this country to the fact that abortion was not legalized through
democratic processes in the United States, as it was in most other
democracies.   I can't help but wonder if the same thing isn't happening
here....
