But the GOP super-minority control of the Supreme Court removed abortion as a Federal "right" and turned it back to the states, allowing
GOP controlled state legislatures more "Freedom"; so they banned it in their states and then set to work developing laws
which could extend their control over citizen's behavior outside the state.
(Dino's post above has a map demarcating their progress.)
Popular support for something does not qualify it as being a constitutional right. It would be far more accurate to say the the Roe decision imposed a law on others. Even pro-choice people like myself can see the validity of the argument in Dobbs, and recognize that Roe was far more a case of judicial activism than the Dobbs decision.
