  1. I haven't read the opinion yet, but I'm pretty sure Justice Thomas's comments were in dicta in a concurring opinion, meaning they aren't binding. Potentially persuasive authority, but not binding. However, if substantive due process rights were reduced as a judicial theory, we'd need to actually get around to amending the constitution as this country did for the Nineteenth Amendment, to create more airtight rights. Roe was always going to be subject to litigation attacks because of the inherent weaknesses in the theory under which it was brought. https://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-offers-critique-roe-v-wade-during-law-school-visit. I wouldn't be surprised if litigation advocacy groups are already working on bringing cases based upon an Equal Protection theory to redevelop this right. Of course, the appellate process will depend on SCOTUS's willingness to hear it. We have methods of creating further rights in this country, but they are more difficult to establish on a national level. In the meantime, the state in which you live may become more relevant if SCOTUS pursues a textualist constitutional philosophy, which it has done in the past.
