States legalizing it are doing so because the federal government is basically turning a blind eye to the supremacy clause on that topic (for the most part). States always have the right to be more restrictive than the federal government, but when they try to make laws less restrictive, it's technically not on solid legal ground. That said, laws only matter when they are either enforced, or blindly followed.
This only impacts poor people because the more affluent simply leave the state to get care.
this is what happens when fifty of the United States are allowed to have state laws override federal laws
this will only get resolved when the individual states are made to follow one set of federal laws for everybody no matter which state they happen to be in
so states with cannabis dispensaries don't count? or the states allowing abortion?
state laws do supersede federal all the time unless the state likes the federal version better
those states are violating the law and betting the Fed Govt won't intervene.

By law? Yes, they do. It just isn't being enforced.
It still causes financial issues though. Banks won't touch them, for instance.
As a foreigner, i have hard time to understand why US go so hard on abortion pill.
Is it religions or something ban it ?
It is power, under the guise of religion.
Nothing satisfies fake Christians more than having power over everyone except themselves.
First Amendment

All of this anti abortion stuff on the grounds of Christianity seems like it would be illegal.
There's not a single conservative here that gives a rats ass about what the constitution actually says, only what they believe it to say, and they can believe it says a lot of things

By here I just meant America since we were talking about the US constitution
Yeah a ton of stuff that happens here directly violates the Constitution.
Those failed states in the south are basically undeveloped countries, and religion is the only way their leaders can claim to be actually be superior to other states, so they can't read or write or get decent jobs, but praise the lord they're better 'christians'.
They used to have racism to let them know they were at least superior to black people, but we slowly took that away from them and they will never, ever forgive us.
no but the guise of religion may be there
this is just like cannabis and immigrants and now women are on the list
the more we criminalize the more citizens get put on the list such as probation
criminals have to be papered and tracked and they have less rights makes them easier to handled and they already have a task force just for that called police that help keep us all in our proper places
The only feasible restriction should be to just keep them behind the pharmacy counter. Only to allow the pharmacist to advise on the best most effective and safest use.
But what about when you run into pharmacist nutters who refuse to advise on or sell them because of their beliefs? It has happened before.
In an imaginary sane and just world, they would have their pharmacists license taken away for that.
