The left is furious and they will surely blame Brett Kavanaugh. Trump will get much of the blame too, and the left will be ruthless with Susan Collins.
Because they are all reading into an opinion by Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer that spells doom for legal abortion.
Now, the left is full of chicken little’s screaming the sky is falling but they may not be wrong here.
There are many new abortion laws being passed in the states and the left will challenge them all in the courts.
The Supreme Court will surely take one of the cases and then anything is possible. We know that the majority of judges disagree with Roe V Wade on different legal grounds. We also know many of the conservative justices personally are anti-abortion.
Whether they outright overturn abortion or just allow the states to decide for themselves, Roe V Wade as we know does seem doomed.
From Alternet:

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer on Monday issued what’s being called a “warning siren” Monday, strongly suggesting landmark civil rights cases, perhaps Roe v. Wade, or Planned Parenthood v. Casey, or maybe Brown v. Board of Education are increasingly likely to be overturned by the Trump-reshaped far-right SCOTUS.
“Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next,” Breyer wrote in a dissent of a case handed down Monday, overturning decades of Supreme Court precedent.
Many legal experts weighed in on Twitter, making clear Justice Breyer’s warning must be taken seriously.
Here’s CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin, saying Breyer’s warning means the Supreme Court case that found women have a right to abortion is “doomed.”
Professor of Law, University of Michigan School of Law: From Justice Breyer’s dissent in Franchise Tax Board. Hard not to read this as a veiled warning about Roe v. Wade.
Former Obama White House Counsel’s Office attorney Daniel Jacobson: “A Supreme Court Justice is never going to send a bigger warning siren than Breyer does in his dissent today.”
Reuters’ Supreme Court reporter: Today, the Supreme Court overruled a 1979 precedent. Justice Breyer is clearly thinking of another 1970s precedent that might be overturned when he notes in dissent: “Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the court will overrule next”
