This makes states governments all the more important. Do you know who your local reps/senators are? (You may only have one of these, depending on your state.). Do you know where they stand on women's rights to control their own bodies?

A lot of state legislatures were starting to move in the 'rights' direction before Roe v Wade. The Rs turned it into a contentious issue, so potential state laws didn't happen (no point in expending political capital if it's unnecessary). Now 'rights' have a clear majority in public opinion.

In my state (deep blue MA) we didn't have a state 'rights' law. Now we have a 'Roe act' in process (my only complaint - which I shared with my state senator during the 2018 election) is that it requires parental permission for minors.

Major benefit: this will become an election issue in many states - and many of the current reps do not actually represent their constituents on this. It's time for them to go. The downside is that it becomes an issue post 2020, so RedState gets to continue their gerrymandering with the 2020 census.
