    On the flip side maybe this will encourage productive tax payers to fund GOP campaigns.

    3 Ballot Measures Could Obliterate Abortion Rights For Millions Of Women
    Posted: 10/30/2014 1:25 pm EDT Updated: 1 hour ago

    "Voters in Tennessee, North Dakota and Colorado will consider sweeping ballot measures on Tuesday that would eliminate the right to abortion under their state constitutions and, in some cases, criminalize the procedure.

    "The Tennessee measure, known as Amendment 1, would declare that Tennessee's constitution does not protect women's right to have to an abortion, even in cases of rape. The measure would effectively overrule a 2000 Tennessee Supreme Court decision that struck down a 36-hour mandatory waiting period before abortion, citing women's right to privacy under the state constitution.

    “Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion," the measure says. "The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother."

    "Tennessee already has several abortion restrictions on the books, including a requirement that doctors have admitting privileges at a local hospital. But the amendment would open the door for lawmakers to pass new anti-abortion laws without having to worry about being blocked by the courts.

    "What this does is open the floodgates for more and more extraordinary restrictions," said Jennifer Dalven, director of the Reproductive Freedom Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. "One could not look to the Tennessee constitution for any legal protection."

    "The Yes on 1 campaign, run by Tennessee Right to Life, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the campaign's website says the measure would make the constitution "neutral on the question of abortion" and put "regulation of abortion back into the hands of the people through their elected representatives."

    "Abortion would not be banned," the website adds, because the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Roe v. Wade that women have a right to legal abortion until the fetus is viable, around 22 to 24 weeks. But Roe v. Wade has not stopped other states from passing bans on abortions earlier than 22 weeks, in addition to other restrictions that shut down abortion clinics and make it nearly impossible for women to access the procedure.

    "They want Tennessee to look more like Texas," Dalven said of the amendment's supporters.

    "The measure has a good chance of passing. Recent polling shows that more Tennessee voters support the measure than oppose it, although it's still too close to call.

    "Meanwhile, voters in North Dakota and Colorado are considering fetal personhood measures, which would grant legal personhood rights to zygotes from the moment of fertilization..."

    If women don't want it, they need to get out and vote. If they don't care, then they can't very well complain later.

    In America, our government is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

    That is its greatest strength.

    And that is its greatest weakness.

    In a republic, in a representative democracy like ours, the government you get is the one you deserve.

    If you want a better government, then you have to be better citizens.
