I'm pretty sure they are, actually.  Windows Server offers no
advantage in that kind of application.  I don't even get why people
put up with it on the desktop, but I'm perhaps an outlier in that way,
but its uses as a server OS are kind of a joke, it's all boring
corporate stuff, the kind of thing that if I were working with it,
five days a week, I'd jump off a bridge.

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.
