Is more like it. I have NEVER been put off from overbearing reporters trying to find out who I voted for. And the vast majority of people don't care who they tell they voted for. Abortions are private too, but that doesn't stop them from being able to mob the clinics and find out who had an abortion. Tradition my ass. Keeping your vote a secret is "tradition", but keeping an abortion secret not so much.
