2. Why couldn't this statement be evidence of undue burden?

It's a frank admission of the motive we've all known - they want to stop legal abortion by making it too hard to get. In Mississippi, that's what they have done. One last clinic is about to lose its license.

Isn't that what "undue burden" is all about? If a woman has to travel two or three states over to have a legal abortion and then again deal with waiting periods and other bullshit once there, how much more undue does the friggin burden have to be?

And I don't even want to get into this idiot daring to stand in judgment over the morality of people facing with the kinds of decisions an abortion entails. Fuck you, Bubba Carpenter.
