I concentrate on what the decision actually is, rather than the fear of what it might be.
This (still-not-finalized) decision returns any regulation over bodily sovereignty to the state rather than the feds. This is much closer to individuals than anytime in the past 50 years.
"Your body your choice" could also mean that you leave your body in the middle of the road to block traffic; or that you direct your first into to another's face. Society in general has a vested interest in preventing you from doing either, and that's why laws are made. The state, being closer to the individual than the federal government, is a much better place for these choices to be made.
People disagree on a lot of things. This country was founded not to make everyone agree, but instead to allow people with very different ideas to get along in a mutually beneficial society without constant revolutions and violence. Austin shouldn't be the same as Boston; Miami shouldn't always have the same laws as Kodiak. Putting important decisions closer to the hands of each individual, letting them conduct their own affairs as they see fit, is a win.
