There are some (on both sides) who view this as a first step to overturning RvW. There are many who opposed this law and dislike this opinion because for the first time since roe an antiabortion law with no "health of the mother" exception has been judged constitutional. The college of obgyns claims this procedure is sometimes the best choice for the health of the mother. Congress substituted their own judgement for the doctors and the supremes said that's OK.
