"I don’t mind if non doctors are sending abortion pills and plan B to Texas" -- I missed that day in school where the rule of law in the US only matters if we agree. It doesn't matter whether you think it's okay "just in this circumstance because that thing over there is awful, even immoral" -- can you not see that people who fought against abortion may also be taking a moral view that the life of the fetus matters? Some crazy people have used their feelings about how abortion is immoral to justify murdering doctors ("hey, it's not murder if I think the victim was acting against my morals"). This is why we have to defend the rule of law, even when it's hard. A country can't survive if there is no understanding that there are laws & punishments for breaking those laws, applied equally even if you're sympathetic to the perpetrator.
