Sadly, it will take about 5 years or so before the impact of this SC ruling can be measured. I am guessing that most abortions in this country happen in places that already have abortion laws in place to continue the practice, and wait until California and Illinois start advertising their states as the destination for liberal healthcare. I've seen estimates of a 15% reduction in abortions going forward, but I am expecting to see the result come in around 1% (maybe 5%).

Along with that, it occurred to me the 40% of abortions done on black women is probably in line with the demographics in the areas where abortions are common. I'm sure some statistics guru will be able to clarify that idea.

State legislators are now gonna have to assume the responsibility of proposing and either passing or rejecting abortion laws without having the Roe v Wade decision to hide behind.

This could get interesting.

If nothing else those seeking abortions from now on will know that they are killing a baby and have to live with that forever.

States with the highest percentages of black population are predominantly in the conservative Deep South, namely, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

Friday's SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe-v-Wade stemmed from a case in Mississippi (Dobbs-v-Jackson Women's Health) involving the only abortion clinic in MS.
