    Slavery is the same as abortion pills? Wow.

    Nice strawman. Try again. I said you’re arguing a person’s freedom should depend on what state they are in. Slavers argued the same.

    Regarding rights, more than half of the US is women. Many women also don’t support abortions.

    And no one is forcing those women to get an abortion. They are free to live abortion free for their entire lives. No one is going to arrest them if they choose to not get an abortion.

    Mail order abortion pills. Nobody will have to travel out of country for an abortion. That’s a moot point based on fear mongering.

    I cited a specific case above where a woman was arrested in their own state for having abortion pills. Clearly the abortion bans are oppressing those women too and putting them at legal risk.

    I was indeed incorrect about people being jailed related to abortion bans. Those laws and cases are stupid. Their laws should only apply to access and not after-care.

    I agree that abortion bans are stupid.

    I think people have relied on the federal government to protect them too much and let their individual states become radicalized. Now they have to be involved in effecting change within the state they live. In the long term I think this is a good step toward more progressive state governments.

    So things like the Voting Rights Act of 1965 shouldn’t have happened because it forced specific states to allow fair voting for racial minorities even though state laws in those targeted states were supported by the state residents?
