Not anymore it doesn't. The illegitimate "supreme court" has ruled that states have the sole authority to create and enforce laws related to abortion.
Conservatism is a plague of oppression. It always has been. Teach your children why it's immoral to keep company with conservatives.
I really hate the terms liberal and conservative. It makes liberals sound thriftless when their greatest sin is giving a damn and trying to improve the future, and conservatives sound judicious when they're more interested in genitals than clean water or shelter.
I feel like more accurate would be preventionists and reactionaries, or progressives and regressives, cooperative party and uncooperative party, the discussion party and the tantrum party, the social party and the antisocial party, building sandcastles party and the kicking sandcastles party, simply the sharing party and the selfish party.
I like progressive and regressive.
That is not even close to what the Dobbs decision ruled. What are you talking about?
Dobbs just said basically that the Constitution does not imply a fundamental right to an abortion (which is what Roe said). That's it. Congress is still free to pass laws about abortion, and it could try to preempt states prohibiting it.
Not to mention the Commerce Clause reserves the power to regulate interstate commerce to the federal government, which this Texas ordinance doesn't explicitly violate, but comes awfully close and will probably be challenged on those grounds.
