But then, that’s their own fault. Each time they lose an election, instead
of trying to fix it by coming up with policies that appeal to a broader
range of voters, currently their strategy seems to be to swing even

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.
