These restrictions on bodily autonomy are both heartbreaking and infuriating, but I am very glad to read that they are having consequences for the states who are rolling them out. Losing out on doctors, losing out on college students, losing out on vacationers. Their governments and people can start to see the results of their actions.

Hi @pinkdrunkenelephants (great username, by the way), could you please take a moment to edit your title to add a label? It looks like “analysis” would be the best one for this article.

The mod team just recently finalized (for now, we will review later based on community feedback) some posting guidelines which you can find in the sidebar or magazine info page. One of the guidelines is to begin your titles with a label so readers know whether it is news, opinion, editorial, or analysis. Thank you!
