3. Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.

It's gotten to the point where the slave states are trying to prevent women from traveling outside the state to get abortions, and the free states are telling them to fuck right off - refusing to provide information, extradite anybody, or otherwise cooperate in any way.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
