The Supreme Court did not reverse Roe v Wade. They in fact upheld the fundamental premise of Roe v Wade, that a state had no right to intervene in a woman's decision to have an abortion until the unborn baby acquired the rights of "personhood".

What they did was make the argument that "due process" in America requires such any decision regarding when a human acquires "personhood" rights be made by a legislative body and not a body of unelected judges. In effect, the ruling was against judicial activism rather than the underlying premise of Roe v Wade in defining when an unborn baby acquired "person" rights.

The concept of personhood remains separate from when human life begins or when a person becomes a citizen. Which is settled law based on Roe v Wade.

Read the opinion, not the papers.
