I see that @Pants-of-dog is still trolling or simply stuck on ignorance. The recent court decision did not remove a single "right". Women in the US still have the ability to seek an abortion exactly as they did before this bill. The only change is that a previous limited right to privacy has changed.
Women in most states still can obtain an abortion exactly as before. In some states not. In the states that now prohibit abortions under certain circumstances, women still control the law making entity that can grant them an absolute right to an abortion. That they are ineffective in asserting those rights is on them. I have repeatedly outlined the methods they might use to ensure to establish a new right to an abortion. A right that already exists in many states.
So that POD will not wallow in ignorance any longer let me review:
I could go on but I have made my point. In my own state there is a move to put the right to abortion in the Arizona Constitution. Other states the same. In Kansas there is an effort to put anti-abortion language in their constitution.
We are a working Republic. A confederation of independent states. Our founders imagined something much more like the EU than we like to imagine these days. This is our way. Take away states rights and the result would be an even more bloated tyranny of the masses.
But now POD will call us a "third world country" demonstrating once again his hatred for the US. And, I might add, condemning Finland, Iceland, Japan and the UK to the same label. And he will be wrong. Just as in Canada, under federal law abortion is perfectly legal in the US. Now if he values honesty he might assert that some states give women more rights than others. But that is about it.
Do you support the current removal of rights because of a hypothetical abortion that has not occurred despite decades of opportunities?

Kansas: The Kansas Constitution protects abortion as a fundamental right, exceeding protections under the U.S. Constitution.
In Montana, the state supreme court has recognized that the Montana Constitution’s right of privacy includes a right of “procreative autonomy.”
Alaska’s Constitution recognizes the right to abortion as fundamental, including for minors and people who receive Medicaid.
In Minnesota, the state Supreme Court has recognized that multiple provisions in the Minnesota Constitution protect abortion as a privacy right more broadly and strongly than the U.S. Constitution. The Court applied this right to hold that the state’s medical assistance program must fund abortion to make it accessible for people living on low incomes.
California: The right to abortion is protected by updated state laws.
Colorado
The right to abortion is protected by updated state laws.
Connecticut
The right to abortion is protected by updated state laws.
Delaware
The right to abortion is protected by updated state laws.
