Note that the logic from the Dobbs decision is a green light to Republican legislatures that they can outlaw ANYTHING that isn't constitutionally protected. What happened in Louisiana will be repeated in other red states. And, it won't be limited just to reproductive rights issues as Republicans will get creative with their legislation.
