The Supreme Court isn't banning abortion. It's moving the issue from the federal level to the state level. It will be members of state legislatures and their governors who will be banning abortion and obviously not in all states.

I think you’re the one making a bad faith argument. “People are going to die” because democrats let the ETC expire. That’s the nature of legislation. Pretty much all of it is impactful enough that you can come up with a body count.
But at the end of the day the rule of law and the process matters. Roe prohibited Americans from banning second trimester abortions, which most Americans think should be banned, and which most liberal European countries do ban. It was substituting the moral views of an elite against the judgment of the public on a fundamental moral line drawing issue.

It's even worse than that. As the brief for petitioners [1] notes, only three countries in the world do not ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The US is one. The other two? China and North Korea.
