On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump said the power to make abortion policies “has been returned to the states.” In his first two weeks in office, he’s already gone further to restrict abortion than any president who’s held office since the 1973 “Roe v. Wade” decision, writes Julie Rovner.

But...but...muh states rights!
- both sides have always supported states rights and Trump will be no different
  in the US states can act on their own agency regardless of federal say no matter how much you want the fantasy of Democrat Saviors of the People to be true or if Trump is in office
  the fifty states individually operate as they want regardless of federal or other states - see cannabis, abortion, education standards, healthcare, workers' rights, etcetera
  
  Say you don't understand the Supremacy Clause without explicitly saying it.
  
  You don't really understand the US system of government at all, do you?
  
  before Roe v. Wade the cracks were a lot less but still showing but now all the laws that Roe v. Wade held up are in question and in particular how much sway the federal government has over states and abortion/women's rights is not the only thing Roe v. Wade held up
  slaves are perfectly legal if the legal wording is right and corporations use slaves from prisons without paying them all the time
  prisons include people that are zooed only because of things like the drug war or some other low-level reason that could include any of us
  source: our leech of a lawyer
  
  Then why can't we own slaves anymore?
  
  You can if you own a prison company.
  
  The amount of sense this makes is directly proportional to how much punctuation was used.
