It's not about states' rights. It's about individuals' right to autonomy. The option for elective termination of pregnancy is part of providing good healthcare.

@KBrockMD @DrBudde21 Those blue dots are way too close to the red ones in Figure 1! Great way of visualizing the need for earlier palliative care involvement.
