And yet I'm accomplishing everything with openSUSE.  It's almost like
commercial OSes' advantages are an illusion, but no, I get it, some
people aren't like me, they have to have M$ or Apple hold their hands.
Well, I'm a computer nerd, openSUSE to me is comfortable, they can

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.
