Who knew that the right had these secret laws already in place on the exact day roevwade overturned?

Why didn't we have some laws in place ready to go as well????

I feel totally unprepared. They are already miles ahead it seems. I mean good lord it's already banned in some places!

Seems like we should have had Federal laws in place years ago ready for this day.
