 As far as I know, legislatures are still elected by the people, the citizens of the state. Don't go back through the history of Western Civ. We know the basics, but I'm in favor of regulating medical practice. What I'm not in favor of doing is having children mutilated when they are not old enough to make the decision on their own. Can we agree on that? Well, you support states regulating women's right to reproductive choice, terminating a pregnancy, right?
