These states could conceivably declare that these medical procedures are interfering with the "will of God" and ban them per the "abortion belongs with the states" argument. |

Abortion, obviously. He can instruct the FDA to revoke approval for the abortion pill, for example. Limit telehealth options as others have said. It’s ridiculous to think he can’t make it worse. |

+1 He told a group of evangelical Christians this week that he was going to fix everything so they would never need to vote anymore. A group which is nearly singularly focused on voting against abortion. |

DC resident here and the "abortion is a state rights" issue is quite concerning when Trump is promising a federal crackdown on DC and interviewed legislators already spoke about renewing our voter supported Death with Dignity act (which already has previously been attempted to be removed by random congresspeople in other states, as well as abortion rights)
Without a doubt, the GOP will enact more stringent abortion legislature against the will of DC residents |

Look around you, genius. What other countries regret "open borders?" I am first gen, too, and my entire family came here legally. Citizens' rights should be a priority. How about arguing against that, Einstein?! |

Just so. Which is why the legislation that no one has ever bothered to get off their elected butt to pass needs to encompass right to ALL healthcare, and specifically name and include reproductive healthcare. (Or we could just institute a national social medicine system for anll, anlongside the current private system nightmare, that guarantees access to this in all states and territories.) And then hope like hell it’s not tossed out by the federal courts in the inevitable legal challenges. |

Not correct. The supremacy clause just means that the federal government overrules conflicting state laws. It does not give Congress other powers not already enumerated elsewhere in the Constitution. Example: fixing of weights and measures is a power delagted to Congress. If Oregon decides to re-define the weight of the pound with a state law, that law becomes invalid because there is already a federal law that defines the pound, which Congress had the right to make. And, to address another response, Congress does not have the power under the Constitution to regulate artificial intellgence in general, although it does have other powers that might allow it to regulate some aspects of it (e.g. interstate commerce). |

The right to vote
The right to enjoy life in public spaces without constantly being worried about getting shot at The right to health care for women The rights upheld in the constitution to a balance of power And yes, he DID do these things either directly or indirectly (try to block voting, allow states to change abortion laws) because he put in 2 justices to SCOTUS that changed the balance of powers in our government. |

A lot of them - and also my right not to have to listen to his infuriating singsong idiotic voice demanding attention every single day.
He is the single most annoying person who has EVER been in public life and I have the right to tell him to GO AWAY. |

+1000 So sick of Democrats constantly fear mongering over abortion - and I’m pro-choice! It is now a state issue, period. |

Oh come on now. Statements like this are just laughable. You didn’t worry when Dems were in power? Please. |

+1 It’s so amusing how liberals love to leave that little fact out of their calculations. |
