It's the job of the Legislature, she said, not the voters, to deal with complex, emotional issues like this. (ed. - Than Do Your Job!)

"If the people should vote 'yes' or 'no' on every bill, the next (initiative) measure should be to eliminate the Legislature,'' she said.

Her final thought does offer some clarity.
