Yeah, this should be but the first step in trying to climb back up the slippery slope straight to Hell that America's been sliding down on since the '60s. At the very least, the pro-life movement should now refocus on a Right-To-Life amendment instead of resting on their laurels while emboldening others on the right with their victory, because assuredly the pro-abort side won't be giving them even a moment for peaceful celebration.
Between the gun decision and this decision in the last two days, you can almost feel the conservative wing of the court trying to pull us back.
The "bipartisan gun bill" that was in the news days before is essentially a dead man walking now -- there's no way Red Flag Laws stand up to the scrutiny of the precedent just set by SCOTUS. Granted, it will take years to get to that point, but the precedent is important.
This decision, much like yesterday's, is decisive. A cultural earthquake just got set off, and the majority didn't mince words. Roe and Casey were mistakes, and egregious ones, at that.
In the big scheme, it's probably a small victory - one that portends much more fighting in even bigger battles, but it gives me hope. The slide can be arrested. We aren't doomed.
Oh yes, this + yesterday's decision on guns has been a whitepill the size of Texas. At the very least it shows that conservatives (social conservatives to be exact) can actually win and conserve something that isn't a fruit of progressivism. I'm in full agreement that this is only one battle in a larger war, but some battles can be decisive and this here is a major victory for the right worth celebrating, even if the victors should not lose focus and prepare to fight for the next objective.

Unironically, God bless America.
Indeed.
Also, even though it's self-serving, I must add:
Anything that causes the left and social media to collectively lose their shit as is currently happening just warms the cockles of my heart.
