> Fortunately our nation is founded on a constitution and rule of law so that what "should" and "shouldn't" can be codified appropriately by the people.
The governing and electoral structure is very much engineered to prevent “the people” from having an effective voice is codifying should and shouldn't, despite the occasional mouthing of platitudes relating to popular sovereignty and democratic rule by elites.

Sadly that's been repeatedly shown to be false. What we actually have is a system where the average person has zero influence on policy and a very small number of very wealthy people dictate what "should" and "shouldn't" be. The vast majority of Americans support the right to an abortion and yet here we have a small number of people taking that right from them.
