When Alito joins the court, the split will be 6-3 with conservatives in control.
If a suitable case reaches the court, Roe v Wade may be overturned.
This doesn't end abortions, and doesn't inflate the stock of Acme Coat Hangers Inc. or Back Alley Womens Med Clinic, LLC.
It sends the ability to make abortion laws back to the 50 states, and each can make the laws they choose.
Before Roe v Wade, some states allowed abortions, some didn't, and some did with restrictions. A controversy then was advertising for abortion clinics, and some local school boards, principals, college trustees, etc., threw fits trying to keep clinic ads out of school and college newspapers.
A prediction:
Bush voting states = we don't like abortions
Non Bush voting states = we love abortions
Alabama - death penalty for abortions
MA, MN, NY - get an abortion, collect $500
