Well then we disagree.
It has been declared that women have the right to an abortion if they choose. Saying "ok you can have an abortion, but we'll place such burdens on providers that it will be practically impossible for you to do so" is no different then "well you still have your second amendment, we only made it illegal to sell guns, not buy them!"
Yes. Everyone knows, what has been declared. The counterrevolutionaries were declare outlaws to be beaten to death, the intellectuals were murdered and the Jews were defined "lebensunwert"; what was it in Rwanda. Witches were legally burned, the Armenians were a danger and a 94 years old was just prosecuted after living free and prosperously but know for what he was for participation in 177.000 murders, because he was working as a clerk at Auschwitz, though he never killed anyone himself.
It is shifty sand to say that a state can allow a million killings a year of innocents. Mao's people were not punished later for participating in the progressive movement and the 94 year old lived a nice life, till his society decided it opportune and again redefined the law and applied it retroactively. It is a mess and we are not making it better.
