Can you believe the arrogance of the GOP Indiana state legislators on a proposal to let the public vote on abortion rights?

Recently voters in Kansas voted against changing the state constitution to allow legislators to pass anti-abortion restrictions. A Democratic legislator in Indiana suggested doing the same there, where the GOP-dominated legislature was proposing a complete ban on the procedure. His proposal was rejected; he was told that the purpose of representational democracy was for the legislature to reflect the will of the people by who they vote for, so there was no need for a popular vote.

What a bunch of arrogant little assholes. So they were voted to their positions because of their stand on numerous issues, and now they use that to claim that on a particular issue this allows them to bypass the REAL public desires and implement their ignorant edicts, and this somehow reflects the will of the people.

As the Kansas vote showed, a public vote would probably soundly defeat their fascist restrictions, and they clearly are afraid of just that.

This is Democracy... this is what Democrats mean. Mob Rule whether it is right or wrong is of no consequence. Bolshevik Revolution and Lenin. Democracy is not ran the same way as a Republic. Democracy is impulsive and believes Might is Right like the Communists do...

I'm not sure I follow you. So you're saying that a group who BS's their way to control should be able to exercise complete power over those they duped into putting them there.
