Only Voting Can Resolve America's Issues
Get up and Vote! (An Opinion)
Upon reading of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, Justice Alito gives no room for a reasonable objection on overturning Roe v. Wade. Justice Alito uses originalism, constructionist, restraint, and activist (Liberal and Conservative) views to write this legendary decision. If you disagree with this decision, provide a better argument. Even the opposition cannot crash through the wall of reasoning in this decision. So, what now for America when it comes to abortion rights? The answer, it’s about polling; 65% of American's believe that a right to an abortion should exist. That means it’s time to get out and vote.
If most Americans truly believe abortion should be legal, here's the opportunity to make it happen. Americans who support or oppose abortion must use the democratic part of the democratic republic we live in and decide with their votes. Citizens within their state must use the initiative process to get the abortion question on the ballot. The American people have sat on their lazy backsides for so long, they have ignored many issues that should have been resolved years ago. They simply have not used their democratic rights that were earned on the battlefields of Lexington, Gettysburg, Greenwood, Ardennes, Iowa Jima, and Selma, to make the changes they want. Now it’s time for some participatory democracy to occur. American’s, if you want abortion rights or oppose them, get up out of the gaming chairs, get a petition started, get the issue on the ballot, and wake up early on election day and vote. Direct peaceful action with your voice and vote will give you what you want. Sitting around complaining and never voting, protesting without being a registered voter, or being violent gets you nothing but regret. The best example of the power of voting occurred recently in the State of Kansas. Anti-abortion advocates placed the abortion question on the ballot in hopes to limit abortion rights, but overwhelmingly the majority of citizens voted against such action and preserved abortion rights within the state. Personally, I’m neither for nor against abortion. I’m for Americans participating publicly and peacefully by using the power of the franchise.?
