Didn't the Supreme Court just fix it by giving back this matter to states and their elected bodies ?

  The Supreme Court didn't fix a damn thing. They made bodily autonomy subject to majority votes in state legislatures. Bodily autonomy is too important to be trusted to a majority vote, and Democrats failed the country miserably by not pushing to amend the Constitution to guarantee the rights of all Americans to ownership over their own bodies.

    But amending the constitution is also done by majority vote. There's nothing about legislating at the federal level that makes it more likely to produce the right laws than at the state level. For example, there's the federal marijuana ban, sending countless non-violent drug users to prison.

      What the fuck am I supposed to do, then? Carry an AR-15 every time I take my wife to the gynecologist?

  No. That's a temporary status. They went out of their way to ensure that a nationwide abortion ban was still 'constitutional' but the nationwide right to one was not.
