No expert on this but citizenship for "natural born citizens born abroad" was until fairly recently much fuzzier than birthright citizenship. I know this because i am one and was surprised when i researched it (my memory is also fuzzy so will not assert specific details)
It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.

If it weren't for SCOTUS's right wing, I'd have hope that this could be stopped. "The Justice Department ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out" - I've been pointing this out since Trump purged the DOJ. How do we get out of this bind if Trump controls voting?

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

US vaccine committee scraps recommendation for hepatitis B shot in newborns
A group of vaccine advisers to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday voted to remove the broad recommendation that all newborns in the U.S. receive a hepatitis B vaccine, in one of the most sweeping changes to vaccine policy under Kennedy's leadership so far. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on which public health recommendations to adopt.
