Depends. Literally yes, but the 14th amendment was interpreted
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I'm wondering if the timing of RVW is simply to distract the masses and explain the drastic decline in the birth rate due to the jab.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire tomorrow
“Where does an attitude like that come from?” he asked. “Well, as it turns out, that attitude comes from the same place the Democratic Party now gets all of its attitudes, directly from corporate America. Corporate America wants you childless.”
Recalling a brief history of labor over the last century where for a spell corporations supported family life through their policies, Carlson explained that at some point this all changed, and workers often had to form unions to ensure they were given wages adequate to support their families.
Because of this, “labor costs soared. So corporate America, in response to this, developed a new model: hire single women,” Carlson observed.
This has happened in many places “including in the traditionally male banking sector [where] young women now make up the majority of new employees and you can see why they do. They work hard, they’re reliable [and] they tend to be loyal to the companies they work for,” the television host explained.
“The one downside to hiring young women is they can get pregnant [and] if you’re running the H.R. department at Citibank, that is the last thing you want. Children make your health care plan more expensive. Worse than that, they tend to compete with an employee’s attention. Responding to after work emails seems less pressing to most new moms than putting their own kids to bed,” Carlson said.
“That’s a huge problem for big companies, so they have every incentive to prevent their workers from having children,” he explained.
“‘Give us the best years of your life and in exchange we’ll pay you what’s effectively a subsistence wage in whatever overpriced urban hellscape we’re based in and then take from you the one thing that might give your existence meaning and joy in middle age, which is having children. That’s the deal we’re offering’” Carlson mocked.

Sadly I started a long work week so I didn't get to enjoy.
HOES MAD!!!

Oh, so those numbers went UP and not down? I thought Dems said that abortion was no longer available.

Now the right to obtain the procedure will depend on state law.
In a 6-3 decision, the court’s conservative majority struck down the 1973 case holding that states, rather than the federal government, are vested with authority to regulate women’s reproductive choices. As a result, states are free to restrict, and even outlaw, abortion. Since Roe and a subsequent 1992 abortion rights case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey were decided, women across the U.S. have maintained the right to obtain an abortion up until about 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority in the case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
The court’s about-face solidifies an immediate shift in reproductive options for women in states seeking to restrict access to legal abortion.
According to the pro-choice research institute, Guttmacher Institute, as of April this year, laws in 26 states stood to either limit access to legal abortion or fail to protect it in the event that Roe was overturned — 22 of which they say have constitutional amendments or laws in place making them certain to attempt bans.
Thirteen states adopted “trigger” laws prior to the court’s decision. The laws, more restrictive than Roe, ban abortion earlier in a woman’s pregnancy and are designed to take effect in the event that the court overturned the seminal case.
Under Roe, the high court held that personal privacy guaranteed by the Constitution's 14th Amendment Due Process Clause included a right to decide whether to give birth. That right, the court held, extended up until the unborn child became "viable" or capable of sustaining meaningful life outside of the womb.
The court’s decision to withdraw the right to abortion up until viability has been anticipated since the first week in May when a rare leak allowed Politico to obtain a draft of Alito’s majority opinion.
The highly charged and personal debate has also spilled over into the corporate sphere.
Both before and after the leak, dozens of U.S. companies affirmed or reaffirmed employee benefits that allow workers states with laws more restrictive than Roe to access abortion care. Those benefits include reimbursement for travel expenses incurred to obtain abortion care that is legally unavailable within an employee’s home state, as well as moving expenses for employees to relocate to states without limitations exceeding those under Roe.
More U.S. companies are expected to take a public position on the matter.
