Over turning Roe v Wade would return the matter to the States... as it was before 1973.

Right. Even if true, abortion will still be legal in many states.

How would that shake out?

Back in the late 50’s, some doctors could and would declare unwanted pregnancies as life threatening. And they would basically just perform a hysterectomy, usually with the woman’s informed consent.

In 1962, IIRC, only NYS and the Dominican Republic were available to American women seeking an abortion. And costs of both travel and elective surgery were high.

Today, it’s a sure bet every state will allow abortion in the 1st trimester & for the health of the mother. Woke doctors will game the system. Liberal women would just increase their Underground Railroad/coyote activities. They can source the morning-after pill online.

Only possible silver lining I can see without Federal legalization is young, woke SJWs might move to blue states with the most lenient abortion policies.
