Abortion immediately becomes completely illegal in 20 or 25 states: 8 with pre-Roe abortion bans from the '60s, and 10-15 or so with "trigger laws" - abortion bans that kick in conditional on Roe being overturned.
15 or so states have protections for abortion rights conditional on Roe being overturned (all blue states) - nothing would change there.
Right, yes, I should have clarified - what does this mean materially?
Obviously, clinics in those states would close, leading to TONS of sickness and death. Would pregnant people in those states be able to obtain abortions via some other method, without travelling? I seem to recall that there is a cheaply available "abortion pill" online, but I might be confusing that with Plan B generics.
A rise in "unofficial" abortions that are more dangerous for patient and doctor (might get arrested). I do not believe there is a reliable abortion pill especially beyond the first trimester. There will probably be a rise in "home remedy" abortions that either just make people sick or induce a miscarriage. Of course, women will also be come more oppressed and dominated by state officials and their chud freikorps, with all the negative consequences that arise from that.

This has especially disheartening implications when contextualized with the amount of people in the US who already put stock in things like urine therapy, essential oils, turpentine treatments, etc.
yep ur thinking of mifepristone. When used in combination with misoprostol it successfully terminates 98% of pregnancies, but only up to 10 weeks, 13 if you're lucky. So beyond that would only be possible in a clinic. I think the best course of action if you're a uterus haver in a reactionary state would be to get an IUD or more permanently get your tubes tied.
I may be wrong but seem to recall an element of the Texas bill being that if a woman got an abortion in a different state, they and whoever helped them do it could be prosecuted when they return? Which seems to fly in the face of Full Faith and Credit
So, I guess my question is, let's say this does get reversed. What happens then?

You know them, the "Do your own research" types.
Why the fuck would anyone trust the US Healthcare system :doomjak:
That's what I expected.

If you can even find a doctor who will do it! Many won’t approve the operation until you reach a certain age and/or have a certain number of children.
Why
it basically boils down to systemic misogyny
