<.....” We are actually watching a victory for state’s rights and the undoing of Roe.”.....>

How so? I understand that the Supremes appear to be giving the states right...but how does this affect Roe?....could you enlarge on that please?

Thank you.

If, as appears to be the case, the SCOTUS is saying that SSM is a state issue and not a federal one, then abortion is also a state issue and not a federal one. Roe ruled abortion a right, but abortion is a state regulated activity.

Under this reasoning couldn’t a state restrict abortion?

I’m still waiting a better analysis of this decision. For instance, it isn’t clear to me that the litigants standing issue is occuring only at the federal or the state level. CA has a law permitting proponents leading a proposition to defend it in court.

Did this ruling undo that law in CA or not? That’s my question.
