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.
