That's a platitude, the desktop market is not what it once was because
of the existence of smartphones etc., but Windows and Linux and even
macOS are still very purposeful, when one doesn't want to be relegated
to a fucking handheld, battery-powered device.

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.
