Regardless, my only point was that "we shouldn't question democracy in action" isn't really a viable stance, given the number of historic examples we have of democracy in action leading to horrendous outcomes.

That's quite a dramatic analogy, TS. We're talking about democracy and women's rights in Texas. Women can step into 49 other states without leaving the country. And while I don't agree with the legislation, not one bit... I wonder that it called for a German quote. I take it you were referring to the clean ups at the beginning of the Holocaust. And how that relates to this story is quite beyond me.
