Heh, you know I have a great refute for that, which *doesn't* even
involve Linux, right?  You guessed it, Win8.x, for which Classic
Shell, open source, provided a free and fully functional start
replacement.  I know, there was a paid app too, but why would I want
it, when Classic Shell was so great and configurable?  Face it, you
want everything in FOSS to be "GuhNoo", and it just isn't so.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
