Voters back abortion rights, but some opponents won’t relent. Is the commitment to democracy in question?

The statewide battles over abortion rights since the Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to abortion have exposed another fault line across the country. And that's the commitment to democracy. Opponents of abortion rights are being accused of ignoring the will of voters by acting with defiance toward democratic processes and institutions they perceive as aligned against their cause. Some Republican elected officials and anti-abortion activists have responded to ballot box losses by challenging election results or refusing to bring state laws into line with voter-backed changes. There have been effort to strips state courts of their power over all abortion-related laws and to challenge the citizen-led initiative process.

Republicans try to keep courts from interpreting Ohio's new abortion rights amendment

Four Ohio Republican state lawmakers are seeking to strip judges of their power to interpret an abortion rights amendment after voters opted to enshrine those rights in the state’s constitution this week. Republican state Reps. Jennifer Gross, Bill Dean, Melanie Miller and Beth Lear said in a news release Thursday that they’ll push to have the Legislature, not the courts, make any decisions about the amendment passed Tuesday. It’s the latest development in the struggle over abortion rights between the Republican-dominated Legislature and the majority of the voters, who passed the amendment by a margin of 57% to 43%.

"Direct democracy should not exist."

These days, this would place Prichard squarely in the Republican mainstream.

For a very long time, I have spoken of this issue in terms of forced childbirth. It is government enforced forced childbirth, but some might get a little entangled in that cumbersome phrase.
