One thing I like, about Mint and GIMP, is that paying is independent
of using, it's voluntary, when I get around to it, when I have the
extra cash to spare.  It's not a price, it's a donation.  I don't have
problems paying for software, nay I value it, but I like having
control of that, rather than a corporate entity.

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.
