Did Roe just get effectively overturned?

you don't need to overturn Roe to protect the unborn. Roe inferred the right of privacy according the Due Process clause in the 14th Amendment. but just as you have a right to privacy in your home, that doesn't make your home a lawless land.
Abortion is not about Privacy. It's about Personhood.
if a pregnant woman is murdered, there is already legal precedent finding a killer guilty of two homicides. if the law recognizes personhood of an unborn in one case, but not the other, the law has given unequal value to personhood.
consider: the law recognizes personhood for a corporation all the time, a braindead patient all the time, an unborn person some of the time.
then there is the question of Life. a person is declared dead in the absence of heartbeat, respirations, and brainwaves, yet cardiac arrest is still considered viable. as medicine defines Life, the measures are applied unequally.
finally, the question of Choice. except in the case of rape or incest, a women is executing "Choice" for her body when she engages in sexual intercourse.
just as the anti-science left is convinced that gender is not biological, but nearly infinite in number and can change any time -- though men are still toxic, and race is a social construct, the same ideology first convinced women that sexual reproduction and sexual pleasure have no relationship with each other.
answer the Pro-Choicer with affirmation, they DO have choice.
Thoughtful post....
Interesting approach that Texas took. Don't know about the SC being ready to do anything constructive, though.

Sort of. But only in Texas.
