It’s all related to reproductive rights. Bills related to fundamental rights are often broad. For example the Civil Rights act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This is no different.

Jesus you’re fucking dense. Yes, there’s an encyclopedia of laws to be passed. No, it doesn’t justify forcing them all into one big yes/no
