There is a legal principle that once the court bedsides something and it becomes established law, you don't overturn the previous decision lightly.

Roe & Wade is based on the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Roe vs Wade did not happen in vacuum, it's part of a larger understanding of the Constitution that recognizes a right to privacy and recognizes that there are unwritten rights.

This decision overturns this whole 50-year old framework. Decisions based on 14th Amendment’s Due Process clause are now open for banning contraception, banning interracial relationships, family relationships, right to intimacy (sodomy laws), the right to personal control of medical treatment. It will even have data collection limit consequences.

This is just scaremongering for funding. Nobody is trying to ban interracial marriage.

Roe v Wade was controversial since it was decided. It was never settled precedent. People have tried to overturn it from the start.
