There is What Should Happen, based on the Constitution and law, and then there is What Will Happen, which is no change.
As cynical about everything to do with Government (big G), i don’t see anything changing for the better. I see Clarence Thomas writing a brilliant dissent. And the rest of them will go off and powder their noses.
Smoke and mirrors show. “Prove me wrong”.
Congress should have the courage to change the law. Instead, fearing their next election, those cowards toss it to the black robed tyrants to decide, thereby covering their congressional backsides. We are not a nation to be ruled by nine judges.
.... or, another glaring reason why the WSJ and the entire DC-birthed neocon enterprise is and always was a total fraud.
The Wall Street Journal:
Pro legalized murder, for almost 50 years.
“These columns have long supported a policy of legal abortion before viability, albeit uneasily as blah blah blah.”
According to Science (both top embryologists, and Intro to Biology 101) the life of a zebra (or a giraffe, or a hippo, or a human being) begins “when the sperm fuses with the ovum to form a new complex with distinctive DNA, that proceeds to florish and grow in a continuum. in other words, human life begins at conception, a hard scientific fact.
Thus the Wall Street Journal says its okay to kill some humans on a whim. To the Wall Street Journal, some humans have no rights whatsoever. Whatever.
But what does the Constitution of the United States of America say?
It says that no person shall be denied equal protection of the laws.
That means, obviously, that the laws that protect us against premeditated murder must be enforced with full force against one who procures, performs, or assists in any abortion.
Anyone disagree?
Scholars, ‘legal experts,’ wonks and nitwits can pontificate and opine about the Constitution and ‘precedent’ all they want. Whether ‘long-established’ or not, NOTHING is permanent when the Constitution itself allows a USSC court to reverse itself. If they want it (Roe) to be irreversible, then they can go try for an amendment to the US Constitution. Good luck [See Equal Rights Amendment].
It has happened before and will happen again. The abortionists think because one court ceded to murderous doctrine that all eternity is bound by it as if the abortionist came down off the mountain with is scribed in stone tablets.
Oral arguments going on now.

Sotomayor compared a brain dead person to an unborn baby. What a POS.
The Constitution does not address Abortion. The 10th Amendment outlaws the Roe vs Wade decision. Therefore it must be reversed.
10th AMENDMENT
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The wording and the intent of the 10th Amendment is and was clear in 1973.
If the Supreme Court does return the question of abortion to the states can a challenge to Obergfell v. Hodges be far behind?
All a person has to do is take a pill. You don’t have to rip out a living human being.
