Roe v Wade has guaranteed the right to an abortion for almost 50 years. The decision by the conservative-majority Supreme Court paves the way to about half of the 50 US states banning or heavily restricting the procedure.
The Supreme Court will strip the federal government down to being a military and a postal service, and that's about it. This seems to be an ideological commitment that 5-6 of the justices have - that the federal government should only do the things that are explicitly outlined in the dogshit constitution.
