So? You have a problem with our Constitution’s guarantee to federalism and the States and people in each state being in charge of making the rules over those maters which, “. . . in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State” [see Federalist No. 45]?
Why not simply worry about what goes on in your own state?

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And that is why control freaks detest federalism . . . it is an obstacle to controlling and subjugating the people completely.
They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are Authoritarian Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.
The question was: Who is the “they” you refer to above?

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.
So, as it turns out, you really have an issue with the women in the state of Oklahoma exercising their political choice and helping to set the rules over those maters which, “. . . in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State” ?
Why not simply keep your nose out of their business?

Not at all. If the voters of Oklahoma support this legislation and act accordingly with their votes for representation, then more power to them.
Although …
Less than one-third of Oklahoma voters want a ban on all abortions and only Republicans are deeply divided on the question, according to a poll taken before the state Legislature approved bills this year aimed at shutting down most abortions.
The poll, taken by Amber Integrated in December of 500 registered Oklahoma voters, shows 31% would support a total ban on abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade; 55% of the Oklahoma voters surveyed did not want a total ban and another 14% were unsure.
You say you “… believe in and support a women’s choice.” But as it turns out, you really have an issue with the women in the state of Oklahoma exercising their political choice and helping to set the rules over those maters which, “. . . in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State”.
My question was:
Why not simply keep your nose out of the political choices the women in Oklahoma make with respect to those matters which, “. . . in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State”?
Why are you so obsessed with what goes on in Oklahoma?

So, you disagree with our very system of government, and especially federalism, under which the people in each state get to set their own rules by a written constitution approved by the people.

I see you conveniently cut out my question to you and Yes, I shouldn’t have to worry that I could be arrested for something that is completely legal in my state when I travel to another state. We are one country not 50. The Civil War settled that.
So, you really are adamant in your rejection of our very system of government and federalism, a big tent system in which the people in each of the states get to set the rules under a written constitution.
And, in answer to your comment about me and letting “PA’s elections alone!”, my only concern is for the rule of law to prevail and be adhered to, which is necessary if we are to remain a system governed by the rule of law and not the whims and fancies of whomever is in power.
