As he said. Most people think that overturning Roe v Wade would make abortion illegal. There are in fact many decisions that the court could have reached in Roe v Wade with a variety of different consequences.

Most people don't really understand what Roe v Wade was. Until last week I thought the court had ruled there was nothing in teh constitution prohibiting abortion, therefore it was allowed. This decision I had no problem with. However, it seems the court found that you had a constitutional right to an abortion. Therefore, even if politicians passed laws prohibiting abortion they would be overturned by the supreme court. This is a vast overextension of supreme court power overturning the legislator.
