I understand your concern that discussing this incident will prevent anyone from talking or thinking about the abortion ban. But you'll be thrilled to hear that HN actually supports sharing and discussing more than one link! In fact, at any one time there are dozens and dozens of links being shared. On top of that, there are new ones everyday.

I hope that puts your concern to rest. Unless there's some other reason that you think discussing this topic binds everyone into a magical compact forbidding them from discussing the ban itself?
