When diverse matters concerning education, women's health, and others are relegated back to state control as Republicans want done, we'll be left with a patchwork quilt of differing state regulations where your rights, benefits, and services you can receive will depend on the state that you live in. People with the financial means to do so will migrate to those states where living conditions are more favorable to them, or engage in a kind of tourism for one-time needs like abortion.- - It's no way to run a nation!
