Legitimate question not trolling. I’m a moron when it comes to law, what does overturning this actually do? There’s tons of information about how pregnant women will die on the table because of this and my view is that it’s sensationalized articles to stoke the fires, but I truly don’t know where it leaves us.

Roe was always a ruling on flimsy legal scaffolding Constitutionally - it legislated from the bench, violating the "Separation of Powers" clause. The SCOTUS avoided controversy by simply refusing to hear any cases on the issue, until now. Everyone who understood that only Congress can make law understood that these rulings violated Separation of Powers. The overturn was baked into the very first day of Roe. It is surprising really that it took this long.
