I'm referring to Dobbs vs Jackson, the overturning of Roe vs Wade, although a majority of Americans are pro-choice.

As of last year, only 39% of Americans were "pro-life," as they term themselves.

But the GOP super-minority control of the Supreme Court removed abortion as a Federal "right" and turned it back to the states, allowing
GOP controlled state legislatures more "Freedom"; so they banned it in their states and then set to work developing laws
which could extend their control over citizen's behavior outside the state.
(Dino's post above has a map demarcating their progress.)
BigP said he could ignore pro-lifers' beliefs. My point was that people cannot in those states where they now control
the legislature and state law, and to some degree in other states, where those help with surveillance of possible "offenders"
who leave red states for blue to get abortions.
