And for those of you that are "all for" this ruling, and therefore clearly haven't READ the opinion, you're in for a real fucking treat. Thomas' concurring opinion said that the Supreme Court “should reconsider” its past rulings codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage.
So enjoy your "win" - that you're too narrow minded to understand is a categorical LOSS for the United States.

SCOTUS and the GQP is going after all of it. Gay Marriage, Gay Relationships, Birth Control - all Under His Eye now.
You do understand that Pre Roe a single income was often more than enough to support a family right?
So the mother didn't have to work. Also, hospital bills weren't nearly as high as they are now. In 1970, it was about 1500. Today, it is about 16,000. 10 times more expensive. (FYI, it was about 1,000 work hours in 1970 at minimum wage. Today is about 2,000 work hours in some states).
Also, given that it is now more important to have 2 incomes in a house at least and parental leave isn't a thing in all states, having a kid can put people into deep debt, especially if there are any health complications.

Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
It bothers me that right wing politicians paint this as a "win for the people." The prior ruling had it as an individual's choice, the new ruling puts it up to vote on whether it is allowed. This is objectively a loss for individual rights, not a gain.

@Lobosan is entirely correct. Antiabortion laws are essentially an attack on impoverished people. You not knowing or understanding why isn't our fault. Take a look into the costs of child care. etc. And the fact that the GQP strikes down any attempt to provide funds for child care or parental leave or any of the litany of benefits other countries provide to help with raising a child.

That's the GQP in a nut shell. Taking away rights while calling it a win for the people. And there will be more to follow.
They don't even want to make exceptions for that.
Imagine being someone who was given up for adoption, only to find out your bio dad is a rapist who assaulted your mother and your bio mom never wanted you.
I don't think pro-lifers are capable of understanding how much that would mess up someone's mental health.
My mother who was raised by her bio-mom and adoptive father dealt with mental issues because she at times didn't feel she new who she was because her parents hid the fact she was adopted until she found out because of a school mess up in 2nd grade. And all three of her parents wanted her, her bio dad died after my grandmother got pregnant.
