Looking at Dobbs again for a paper and my blood boils every time I have reread its one paragraph dismissal of an equal protection challenge to abortion ban due to the cursed Geduldig decision (which held that pregnancy disc is not sex disc)

And yesterday in the Skrmetti oral arg you could see them trying to mobilize Geduldig again to dismiss the equal protection challenge to gendering affirming care ban

But this is why such questions are to be hashed out in legislative branches, not judicial branches. The courts merely deferred to the democratic process in its reasonable finding that the two are different, and different in ways that the state has substantial interest in recognizing.

So, make sure your representatives are doing what you want them to do. All too often people keep voting for exactly the reps that are voting against their wants while distracted by the courts like this.
