    Yes, that is what is happening. But that’s not what I’m asking. I know there’s imbalance between the rich and the poor in the justice system. What I’m asking is, is that how it should be?

    You’ve accepted that as an acceptable thing that rich people/companies don’t have to obey the law, and that rich people/companies obeying the law is a bad thing? Because what you’ve said above is that because Meta is rich, so they shouldn’t obey the law.

      No, you’ve accepted that rich people/companies don’t have to obey the law. (Or, at least, that’s the tenor of your commentary.)

      Therefore it needed to said that, no, they don’t have to obey the law. They’re complicit in the corruption that’s forcing this young woman to account for an abortion that should already be legal, at least in a just society.
