As someone who is legislatively pro-choice but tends to lean a little more to the other side on a personal level, I look at it a different way:I will say these two things as someone from Canada over the supreme court decision in the U.S:
Exactly why would this happen now? Of all times you would think it would have happened in the Bush Jr. Era back in the 2000's considering how neoconservative he was.
The second thing is how Canada and the U.S swapped views on abortion. In the 1980's the Canadian Prime Minister almost had it banned from existence losing by just one vote in the Canadian senate to put it back in the criminal code. Where as the American President (would have bern reagan of course) didn't seem to have much interest in banning it and seemed to let it be. Now the views are reversed.
Explain.
I've said a number of times that to me that the abortion debate isn't even a question of the morals of abortion, it's about stay the fuck out of people's business.
If you view this as a supreme court ruling not as pro-life but rather as anti-federal, then it seems a lot more reasonable, and is something I agree with.
Remember, a lot of fairly populated states will continue to allow abortion, I'd absolutely vote to keep it legal, so would almost everyone I personally know, since they similarly don't think people should have to live by their code of ethics. It's just removing power from the federal government, which at this point needs to happen because it's clear they're useless and warrant no authority, they've devolved into nothing but a gang who exists to extract their pound of flesh while doing nothing of benefit for those underneath them.
Give the states back their right to self-determination, and the burden of their own outcomes.
