Well, I can't say I'm surprised.  Apple is just a laughable resource,
overpriced, overrated, literally a cult of right-brained people.  As
bloated as M$ Winblows is, at least it's not just some funky crapware
like macOS (save for the kernel and Darwin).

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.
