> largely pulled back because it's constitutional basis was too weak to defend in the Supreme Court

"large pulled back" belies the fact that the motives are ulterior.

> consequences are largely left up to the people who choose to use those things

In the case of banning abortion, you're denying choice and autonomy. You're saying a woman HAS to give birth even if it wasn't her choice. Even if she was raped. Even if she's 10 years old.

If you don't find that stance appalling, I don't know what to say.
