That is obvious and absolute nonsense. The only thing it does is make the issue worse.

Not only will you always have people which do not agree with their legislation (even more so when that legislation is in no way representative thanks to voter suppression and gerrymandering), the GOP is already pivoting to trying for federal bans.
And that's ignoring the regressive states also already looking to push things further. Contraceptive bans are already coming up more and more as well.
