“We just won a 50-year battle”
The battle was over the USSC claiming authority to make stuff up.
The Dobbs case did NOT make abortion illegal, if that’s what you thought overturning Roe v. Wade would do (and a lot of good people thought exactly that), you were wrong.
Abortion has become very popular, and not just with “libs”. Any regime in 2023 where abortion is subject to popular will is going to have a lot of abortions.

I was never under any illusions about what overturning Roe vs. Wade would mean. The battle has now turned to the people and their representatives in the several legislatures. Some states will have high restrictions on abortion, some none at all, and several anywhere in between, Florida 6 weeks, North Carolina 12 weeks, Mississippi 15 weeks, etc.
And then those legislators will face reelection. We’ve yet to see the dust fully settle. It’ll take several elections and legislative sessions. But the battle is now where it should always have been.
