The only thing Roe v. Wade did was to enjoin enforcement of existing State laws. It did not “legalize” abortion, so overturning it will not make abortion illegal.
In the few states with laws on the books that make abortion illegal, overturning Roe v. Wade will permit enforcement of those laws. In the vast majority of states with radical pro-abortion laws, those abortions will continue.
The problem with Roe v. Wade is not the abortions (those are bad enough). The major problem was the assertion of power by the USSC to make a non-constitutional issue into one ripe for their intervention.
Any decision overturning Roe v. Wade that doesn’t fix that will be a waste of time.
