I am quite surprised they overturned Roe vs Wade. The court has been very timid about challenging established precedent and appearing to be "legislating" from the bench. This is why they did not overturn ObamaCare in 2012, despite it being clearly unconstitutional (the court dodged by saying it was a tax) as well as overturning the Chevron deference. They did rule in such a way that the Chevron deference will largely die in most cases. But they did not outright overturn it.
The other reason I did not expect Roe to be overturned was that it was based on the previous case of Griswold vs State of Connecticut in 1966, which largely established privacy in medical affairs. \
It is worth noting that Roe vs. Wade was overturned in the very narrow fashion that abortion was seen as simply not being an issue of federal jurisdiction. This means that abortion, as a political issue, is thrown back to the states. One interpretation of this is that any legislative federal ban on abortion would also be considered unconstitutional. Thus, abortion stops being a political issue on the national level.
