I'd use it if I had that kind of money to spend every year, and wanted
to run Winblows.  It was OK to try out for part of a year that I paid
for.  But more efficient to use paint.net or WinGIMP, or the native
GIMP for Linux as I do now.

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.
