I’m constantly struck by parallels between slaveholders trying to force people in non-slavery states to participate in maintaining slavery (e.g. Fugitive Slave Acts) and this sort of behavior. #Alabama senator #Tuberville is holding up promotions to force the military to stop covering travel for medical care that includes #abortion.

@heidilifeldman this analogy makes sense. #HistoryTeachers need to recognize that "states' rights" was a post hoc rationalization, not an original principle.
