I remember reading an article back in 2015-16 where the author argued that Trump's election was exactly about Ros vs Wade. Specifically they explained that a number of SCOTUS judges were expected to be appointed during the term. Once enough conservative judges were in place, one of the conservative States was going to pass a law with the express goal that it be challenged in front of the SCOTUS,so that they could overturn Roe vs Wade.
That is precisely what happened. I wish I had kept that article, given how impressively prescient it was. Sadly I don't even know where to start looking.
There is a lot that blows my mind with this. The level of planning involved, and the willingness by the American right to set the country on fire to be able to control women's right is just amazing.
