I despise the initiative process, because by its very nature, pure democracy, it forces might makes right upon everyone via the law as opposed to principles being the standard.

This initiative is worded in such a way that it could make contraception illegal. Why some people feel they have the right to dictate what medical procedures others may have is beyond me. It really is very simple, if you don’t believe in abortion then don’t have one, and if you don’t believe in contraception then don’t use it. People have every right to live according to their beliefs but they do not have the right to impose those beliefs on others.
