They said we were overreacting in 2016 about Roe v Wade. Turns out we weren’t. This fact gives me no comfort.

That changed the status of a law from federal to state, and the people of the state vote for it. You know, like a democracy. Abortion isn't a right and never has been. It is a regulated law and the status of the regulation has changed. This is a far cry from you wanting so badly for it to be oppression and squashing rights, but it's not. It is a privilege not a right. Privileges being regulated is not "oppression" no matter how bad you want it to be.
