But "states rights" are now a thing, somehow. Our Supreme Court has now shown a heavy political leaning, and the ability to discard precedent.

If I was a women, who according to my doctor, needed a medical abortion to save my life, what good is a multi-year appeal going to do me?

Innocent mothers will die from these laws, and future infertility will be caused.

If only somebody could have seen this coming.

Roe was nakedly political. Even liberals hardly defend it as an exercise in actual Constitutional law. It also remains an aberration in the developed world: the EU Court of Human Rights has repeatedly declined to recognize a general “right” to abortion that overrides the power of elected legislatures to regulate it.

The Supreme Court that showed a “heavy political leaning” was the one that decided Roe in the first place, not the one that overturned it, returning the issue to the public to decide, as is true in every country in the EU.

It's sad that you're getting downvoted when you're objectively right. Roe was the poster child for judicial activism where the justices literally invented a constitutional right out of thin air in order to justify their decision.
