Not considering that the central argument of the justice leading the charge was that abortions used to be illegal, a century ago, therefore should remain illegal today.
Slavery used to be legal...

The great irony is that Democrat cities will be burned down by Democrats in states where abortion is still legal.

Retroactive Abortions? There's a Philip K. Dick story about that.

No. That is a Republican fantasy based on what they would do in such a circumstance. I know the paranoia of the right goes to the darkest place but that statement only shows you do not know the thought required to be on the left. Demonstrations? Yes. Lamentations? Yes. Burning cities? LOL. Blacks had nights of violence because of the cavalier attitude of law enforcement toward their very lives. Fox news blew it up to civil war proportions because they pander to the racist proud boys and regurgitate Storm Front conspiracies. What I hope is that it will be a spur to vote blue. If this does not show the left that the right are authoritarian religious Taliban then nothing will. Despite all the gerrymandering and cutting down on hours and polling places and cutting valid voters from the rolls the left will prevail. The right shows it's hand at every turn. And it is a dying hand. Less racist old people all the time. A dying breed of religious zealots and old paranoid non thinkers. The future belongs to the young, to the ones who are empathetic, the ones who see what the religious dogma does to the world. The tighter you grip the more will slip through your fingers.

Ari Melber lays out the implications of this decision on all rights enshrined in precedent since the 1850s. Basically you can kiss them all away and SCOTUS Judges like Clarence "Groper" Thomas has promised to seek and destroy rights like access to contraception as well as same sex marriage and homosexuality, reverting them back to criminal acts.

Case in point: contrast the pussy hat protests with 6. January protests.

Authoritarian religious Catholics. Six of them.
John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

BTW, I already know Sotomayor voted to uphold, the comment was just in context of the Taliban comment.

In case you didn't find Melber's arguments convincing...

"For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell," Thomas, widely considered to be the court's most conservative justice, wrote in a concurring opinion.
This is just the beginning of the American Theocracy.
