    My brief bit of research says that about half of abortions are done by medication rather than surgery. No doubt some similar rules could apply or be challenged but it seems like a whole nother legal quagmire. I suppose Mexico could still be an option.

    Which is totally redundant since people will just cross state lines to get their abortions. My take is leave it as it is. From what I am hearing over 70 some percent of people want the law to remain unchanged.

    Doesn't meet the definition of commerce.

    Just as most people would say that interstate commerce doesn’t include growing wheat and feeding it to your own livestock. But as bae noted according to the Supreme Court that is, in fact, commerce.

    I am mad, sad, angry and disappointed. I am 62 years old and grew up during the women's movement. I've seen the ERA fail. Women just 10 years older than I am made it easier for me to attend law school and not be "the girl in the class." We've worked so hard and have so much more to do for just basic equality. Add in climate change and I mourn for my children.

    Climate change
    Covid
    Inflation
    Housing availability problems
    Insurrection in the Capitol, and a continuing effort to press the point
    Attacks on voting rights, especially targeted at "those people"
    Jingoism
    Attacks on women's rights, LGBTQ rights
    Decaying infrastructure - bridges, roads, ports, ...
    A government more focused on Twitter/TikTok soundbites than governance
    Internet-enabled viral transmission of fringe wacky beliefs
    WWIII in Europe
    Autocrats/plutocrats joining hands worldwide
    Growing concentration of wealth at the top

    Ah, well, it's time to go work in the garden.

    Sorry I don't keep up with all that stuff, too much life going on. Did they ever approve the day after pill?
