You don't want the "legislative bench" to be the one to say. But I notice you don't have a problem with the "judicial bench" making the decision.
This country's documents state that it is to be governed BY the people, not by five old men in black robes. They have completely superceded the functions delineated for them in the founding documents. The issue of abortion has already begun to be revisited and there is nothing you can do about it.
The US is one of the three countries with the most liberal abortion policies in the world (Roe in principle allows abortion anytime, for any reason). The majority of people do not agree with that and would vote differently if given their rightful opportunity to do so. Things will change.
