Does it make sense to take out money to max out one's Roth IRA during the 2 years of b-school? Anticipate making more than the income limit for contribution post graduation and thereafter.

Roth IRA needs to be funded by income earned (i.e. that you paid income taxes on) - so technically you can’t do it. But money from ur internship you should go for it

Would you support state-level abortion determinism if there were also federal standards and requirements on providing sex education beginning in middle school, free contraceptives provided at schools, and no state limits on access to non-abortion contraceptives?

Essentially, eliminate abstinence-based education policies and replace them with progressive, sex-positive curricula, ensure there are no barriers to preventative contraceptives, but maybe your state also outlaws all abortions always?
