But I thought overturning Roe v Wade was about restoring state rights? Surely Texas wouldn’t try to interfere with another states sovereignty and their right to decide how to deal with this issue? Surely they know that state laws do not extend to other states, right?
Geez, I sure wish that there was some historical example of what happens when one group of states hides behind “state’s rights” to justify their behavior while ignoring that same argument in an attempt to impose their oppressive ideology on other states.

This is exactly what they intended and, in fact, has parallels with the Confederacy.
As you no doubt know, the Civil War was over slavery. But more specifically, it was about the northern states refusal to follow the fugitive slave act and return runaway slaves to the south. The Confederate states were insisting that the other states enforced the South’s laws on slavery. The North refused to do so and treated runaway slaves like any other free person.
As Mark Twain said, History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes.
