Hello! I found your maps very interesting, but i need some clarification: what do they mean by "enjoined"? I was under the impression that enjoined meant banned, but I don't know if that makes sense in this context.
Thanks for the clarification!!
Actually, after looking up the definition for "enjoin" I was confused as well. There were two definitions!
The correct one: to prohibit or restrain by an injunction
Court injunctions prevent the laws mentioned in the "enjoined" states from being enforced. So the wording sounds funny because it sounds like they're banning a right, when in reality they're banning the enforcement of consent, notification, waiting period, and counseling laws.
Does that make sense?
yes, I figured that it meant something like that, considering california was one of the states shaded that color.
Thanks!
