Laws -- whether abortion or idling -- aren't some permanent unchangeable thing. They just cater to the whims of lawmakers and public opinion of the day. Idling wasn't always illegal in NYC either; somebody made it so, and then tacked on the bounty hunting in 2015. Preventing abortion may be illegal now, but probably won't be for much longer if the rigged Supreme Court gets its way. Still, that isn't a novelty. Control of abortion has been a partisan fight for decades. Idling just doesn't attract the same constitutional scrutiny (and why should it). The bounty hunting thing is an additional layer on top of that, however, and one that's relatively novel. It's why California copied it for the gun bounty.
