I'm already hearing about protests and actions being planned in my area, and some talk about how this summer's reaction to it could be similar to or bigger than 2020. Personally I don't know. The 2020 uprisings were global because white supremacy and police brutality are global, but I feel like the US is so particularly backwards regarding abortion that you'd have a hard time getting protests going in other countries where the right to choose is more well-protected.

    is the subjugation of women and abortion in particular not a global issue?

    it is an issue in a whole lot of places, just like police violence. it's just that the US is, at least as far as "always the same map" countries are concerned, outstandingly horrible at both of these issues, so one can expect protests there to be stronger because pressure on people is greater than in a place where cops are still bastards, but only kill 1% as many people per year
