Likewise, if the majority votes to not allow abortion, then the will of the majority in that state will prevail. I don't believe you want that society, you just want people to do what YOU want. 

I think you are overestimating the power of voting.  Keep in mind, this is being overturned in a time where 60-80% of voters don't want it overturned, democrats control the WH, the senate, and the house, and the republican president who appointed 3 SC justices who are instrumental in getting this done lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.

Add in that every republican in the senate (and Manchin) voted to block the abortion rights bill despite not all republican voters wanting that, and well...ehh the power of voting seems pretty unreliable.

I don't think people should break the law and riot or burn this country down, but I'm also willing to admit that the legal and peaceful avenues seem to be stifled, as well.  We may just be outta luck and have to lie in the bed we made.
