I have grown to hate edgy comments that are like "Well actually now it is just a state's issue and Roe v Wade was poorly decided!". You're not edgy & insightful. The impact of this decision isn't just pushing pieces around a chess board. It's scared women & girls around the country, it's women dying who wouldn't have otherwise.

There was 40 years for abortion to be codified in law. Blame the legislators, not the court.

  There was no need to codify it into law, as it was already law! That's the whole point of a court ruling! Roe v. Wade determined that the Constitution itself implied abortion as a right, meaning that there already was a law on the books which protected abortion.

    It's not the job of the court to make laws. At one point the court decided that abortion fell under the 14th A, then they decided it didn't. Congress should have made access to an abortion a real law.

      It's the job of the court to interpret the consequences of the existing laws. At one point, the court determined that access to abortion was a right, according to the 14th amendment. Meaning, that the 14th amendment was, among other things, a law that granted the right to access abortion services. Later, the court decided to override their precedent, and declare that the 14th amendment did not grant the right to access abortion services. I think you need to define what a "real law" is, and how the 14th amendment doesn't qualify in this context.

How exactly is discussing how this came to be some edgy and hateful thing? People want to understand and discuss the current crisis. If you want to discuss the human impact make that comment, or frankly, you're visiting the wrong sort of forum.
