In the scenario the MAJORITY would then vote to make abortion illegal.
Would you then be for "freedom and democracy"? Or would you be exactly like the conservatives you hate and only claim it until the majority votes against YOU?

I would move out of the country, because it would be very clear that my ideals were not inline with my country's, therefore I'd move somewhere more inline with my thinking..
Of course this would only be as if it was a "clear" majority and not say 55/45. Example, I wouldn't expect to live a very good life in a place like Pakistan as a "non-believer". Therefore I wouldn't try to fight the will of a clear majority, I would go where there was a more clear acceptance.
Luckily most Westren countries have shed themselves of Relgious rule. It's just a shame so many in this country keep trying to put it back in place. Perhaps they would be better suited to move to a place like Pakistan where Relgious rule is accepted rather than trying to oppress others in places it's not.
There is one thing which has always held true with Christans and Muslims alike. If you give them an inch, they try to take a mile. The problem with these Relgious types is if you don't keep the radicals at bay, they become the new norm.
This is what you see with Islam and their current radical revolution. If Christains could get away with the same, they would be doing it as well.. Never kid yourself, they have done the same in the past and if radicals were left unchecked in this country they would do the same over time.
Even the Jews have radicals running amok in Isreal. The to the uses the Radiacls to take over new areas and claim them as Jewish.. They move in and start terror using the locals with govt troops at their backing.. Of course you never hear about that..
