29. That's what I'd like to see

If it is true that the majority of Americans support the right to choose, as this vote seems to show, then putting the issue to direct vote whether state constitutional amendments or binding resolutions I would like to see efforts to get this issue on the ballot in all fifty states. While I don't think we'd win them all, I believe there are states, like Kansas, where the electorate is more reasonable than their lobbied, pandering, gerrymandered officials.

Let the people choose.
