Nice red herring fallacy....
Anyway, I believe the courts should always err on the side of personal freedom. If they "overturned" Roe v. Wade, they would not be doing that. What is inconsistent about my position? Again, I think the courts should always rule in favor of the broadest possible interpretation of our liberties, and the narrowest possible interpretation of government powers.
I would argue against a court overturning Roe v. Wade, but I was not being critical of your position. I am critical of your
rationale for your position - that the "will of the people" should always be the determining factor in what is legal or not. That rationale shows both an ignorance of history and an ignorance of the job of the courts, which is to preserve the rule of law against, among other things, the tyranny of the majority.
