What's next on the agenda? gay marriage being overturned? interracial marriage?

Justice Thomas said in his concurrent opinion on this case that they should next consider the cases that protected contraceptives, same-sex marriage, and same-sex relationships.

So yes. That is unfortunately next.

Now it's down to the individual States. Need an abortion? Drive to California.

How economically accessible is interstate travel in US for average citizens?

Depends a lot on the situation/distance, but someone who requires an abortion has a decent chance of already being economically vulnerable.

You can take a Greyhound bus from Dallas to California for under $200.

Depends where you live. Best case it’s minutes on the road and a few bucks in gas. Worst case it’s many hours of travel and tens to hundreds of dollars in gas or bus/airline tickets. Most major cities aren’t more than a few hours from the next state over. A few states like Texas are uniquely huge, making travel outside the state more difficult.

For the first time in my life, it seems conceivable that in the next 10-20 years abortion will be fully outlawed in the United States.

It seems unlikely that Democratic strongholds like california or new york would ban it.

But a future SCOTUS ruling could simply ban it at the national level.
