If the Supreme court overturns Roe v Wade, that could damage the legal idea of a right to privacy in the US, and that could in turn threaten gay rights, contraceptives and fertility treatments.

The Supreme Court's decision effectively upheld the Texas law prohibiting almost all abortions, and permitting vigilantees to sue anyone that assists a pregnant woman in getting an abortion. The little sliver of the decision that went against the Texas law is a minor detail that won't in practice change much.

The authors are certain that the court will overturn Roe v Wade next spring. But in the mean time, they have allowed staten laws to undermine the constitutional structure of US law, just to attack abortion rights six months sooner.

The prohibition of abortion will motivate millions of women, and millions of men, to organize politically. But they will not be organizing in a democracy that would give them a chance to change the government. Republicans are putting an end to that.
