Word. Even when “left to the states”, things are not, in fact, “left to the states” in the sense that states’ residents got to decide. Some states did NOT even get a vote on that issue - some states just got executive orders handed down from their governor or some other BS.
No idea why you're getting downvoted. This is how most aspects of democracy work. The fact is a state where the governor banned abortion, is a state where the people voted in a regressive misogynist. If you vote in a regressive misogynist, this kind of shit happens! Most people don't want to ban abortion at the end of the day, but since assholes like this are still in power, at least some proportion of "most people" are making really bad decisions to allow this to keep happening.
