So, it's not actually a ban on abortion? It's up to states to decide? That's a little different from how I understood it until now?
So, are states actually going to ban abortions? Is this the majority opinion anywhere? Or are people getting upset over a technicality that won't actually happen anywhere?

States have been preparing for this, some states have trigger laws that were in place for this type of ruling.
Yes the SCOTUS has basically said you don't have a constitutional right to an abortion. They have ruled it should be up to the states to decide.
I wonder how much of this was possible due to the changing of the standard in 92. Pre that ruling, it was to be decided under the 'strict scrutiny' standard which firmly places abortions rights as a fundamental constitutional right.
After the 92 ruling it was reduced to the 'undue burden' standard, which from my understanding just forces them to weigh the pros and cons and if any unjust burden will be placed on the individual.
As a legal noob, is it safe to say that the change in said standard from 'strict scrutiny' to 'undue burden' was the stepping stone to eventually have the SCOTUS do what they did
TLDR:
Could they have feasible overturned Roe vs Wade if it was still under strict standard, which insinuated the rights in question, to be fundamental and constitutional rights.

Casey 1992 created a new standard, undue burden, which replaced the trimester system created by Roe v Wade 1973.
Casey supplanted Roe without overturning it.
Strike down Casey means also strike down Roe.

no matter what USA is turning into a dictatorship. It will either be a Christian fundamentalist one, or a democratic socialist one. Its sad!
Even if the USA end up splitting up, various states will turn into one or the other. But lets see.

Against the overturn, but what it will do is force responsible sexual practices by both parties. Mostly it's symbolic. Nothing much will change. Inflationary money will drive poverty which is the main driver of abortion.
