A New York county clerk has again refused to file a more than $100,000 civil judgment from Texas against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills.
That’s… not how laws in the US work. I take it you’re not familiar with the maxim “everything which is not forbidden is allowed”. Abortion was never legalized by federal law in the US either yet they were still being performed.
The federal law protects states rights until the federal law directly overwrites it
Not exactly. State laws can be as, or more restrictive, than federal laws but they cannot be less. This means that if the federal government doesn’t restrict it then states can be as restrictive as they want, as long as those restrictions aren’t in opposition to existing federal laws.
This is all in any decent history about slavery in the US. In fact, slavery is still not completely illegal in the US. Remember the 13th amendment? It formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude in the US, except as a punishment for a crime.
Roe v. Wade was a landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, based on the right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment
the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision upholding Mississippi’s law and overturning Roe v. Wade. With that ruling, the Court returned lawmaking decisions about abortion to the states.
The Roe decision folded abortion into the 14th Amendment until it was overturned in Dobbs returning legislation over it to the states.
That other stuff is fair, I’m simply saying that you should have started with that. Fair?
If you don’t know what you are talking about then maybe you should not chime in and research the issue instead. This is all basic American history. Honestly, spoon feeding you things you could learn yourself to correct your wrongly made statements is exhausting. It’s time for me to block you and move on.

Well…
Slavery was legally practiced across America (the United States ) until its federal abolition in 1865.
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1 prohibited Congress from banning the importation of slaves for twenty years, effectively allowing the international slave trade to continue until 1808
In 1807, Congress passed the Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves, taking effect on January 1, 1808. This intended to end transatlantic slave trade, but it didn’t abolish slavery or domestic sale of enslaved people within the US.
The Fugitive Slave Act or Fugitive Slave Law was a law passed by the 31st United States Congress on September 18, 1850, as part of the Compromise of 1850 between Southern interests in slavery and Northern Free-Soilers.

You said slavery wasn’t federally legal. That was wrong.
You said the 13th amendment had nothing to do with it. That was wrong.
You don’t seem to understand how laws work at all.
Really?
Every response from you has been classic Dunning-Kruger.
