When did people decide this? Oh, they didn't. Now, polling indicates that this might happen, but who knows.

Also, I noted that me standing by the people's decision is a strong possibility, but not a certainty. If Americans suddenly decided to legalize something I think is absolutely wrong (subjective because it is my view, but absolute from my perspective), like rape or murder, I certainly wouldn't be able to yield to that opinion.

Further, there is a difference in trying to change the law by changing public opinion, and overturning the will of the public. I'm not sure what I'd do if the abortion decision came down to me and the public broadly supported the practice.
