Ridiculous.  GNU and Linux together are a masterpiece of what open
source software can accomplish.  I'm running a distro of GNU/Linux on
a computer that's good enough to upgrade to Win12, but I don't even
need that, thanks to Stallman and Torvalds.  They may have gotten the
idea from the origins of Unix, but their combined product is its own.

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.
