So you're judging the product by the content of television
advertising.  I just don't operate in that world, TV commercials are
in one ear and out the other, mostly.  Then again, I'll never forget
seeing the 1997 Spice Girls Pepsi commercial.

Business is business, I will do business with just about anyone.
Waffle House is known to support right-wing politics, yeah OK but they
make a fuckin' bangin' omelet, so maybe I'll just have to give a few

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] 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.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
