What are the implications of the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the Reproductive Rights case?

The majority indulges in semantic legerdemain, phrasing the issue in terms of the "right to procreative choice," thus broadening the question to permit its argument. It is essential that we remain very clear on what this case is not about. The issue is not whether a woman's constitutional right to abort may be exercised without undue governmental interference (Roe v. Wade (1973) 410 U.S. 113, 93 S.Ct. 705, 35 L.Ed.2d 147) or whether women have a right to an abortion. They do. The essential question before us is whether they have a right to abort free of charge and at taxpayer expense. As I will develop, these two questions involve vastly different considerations.
