In other words, because Apple requires these payments, you rationalize
that you didn't really need so much empty space, anyway.  Congrats.
Meanwhile, I already had that much empty space, going back years.  Is
it superfluous?  Maybe.  But then again, it's elite.

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.
