So...
Roe vs. Wade stated the Constitution protects a woman's privacy under the 14th Amendment. An abortion is one on the things which falls under that privacy. Therefore states cannot interfere with it to varying degrees. At no time was an abortion considered a "right" in itself.
SOCTUS normally reverses previous decisions at the rate of about once a year. So, reversals are not uncommon at all. In previous years, RvW has stood. This time, it may not if the media is to be believed. The current SCOTUS may think their previous interpretation was faulty. It happens.
Unpopular Opinion:
Since men can be pregnant now, I am safe to have an opinion on the matter. (Suck on that one Wokies!) We are not going back to pre-1973. I'm sure there will be some who try but that battle will be up to the individual states. It will be hard to put the genie back in the bottle. States will have differences but it will be hard to maintain a zero abortion law. I have personal beliefs on the matter of abortion itself but that is not the subject of discussion here.
