An incident in Mississippi provides a window into a dystopian future where USPS workers and local cops can block people from accessing reproductive care.
And justice being served eventually also doesn’t help the person get the care they need in a timely manner. Abortions are safer when done earlier in the pregnancy, and often there are more legal hoops that have to be jumped through later in the pregnancy if they’re not barred altogether. A court case settled a year or more later doesn’t do much to help a woman who needs care now whether it’s for immediate physical safety or to prevent her body from being used for life support for another person without her consent.
My point of positivity was for any defendants that are currently serving time or holding a criminal record for any narcotics charges attached from that police dog’s (and his handler) prior actions.

I don’t disagree with any of that.
