This only makes the decision of the Republican Supreme Court to allow the law to go into effect even worse…they didn’t just ignore Roe v Wade and Casey, they ignored nearly a century of jurisprudence that said this kind of law was unconstitutional. The fact that it was formerly used to uphold racial segregation makes it stink that much more.
If they are willing to pull this kind of garbage, then it’s really a question of how far they will go to do whatever they want. It’s clear that the law does not matter to five of the justices (Roberts does care about the law and the SC’s reputation, even as he tries to find ways to put his own spin on it), which means that there may be no bounds to what they will do to our society in their push to install a white supremacist Christian theocracy on the nation. It’s just another way we’re back in the 1850s, with justices that will declare laws from the bench that serve their desires instead of the Constitution and the people.
