Opinion: The death of Roe is dizzying, disturbing and dangerous

(CNN)While there are plenty of people who have long sounded the alarm on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and rolling back abortion rights, that does not make this moment any less dizzying.

In recent years, numerous countries, including Mexico and South Korea, have liberalized laws and regulations on abortion. Only a handful of nations have gone in the other direction.

With Friday's decision, the United States has joined that list. The Supreme Court held that there is no constitutional provision that protects the right to abortion and that Roe v. Wade was egregiously wrong the day it was decided.

The court not only rejected the reasoning of the 1973 decision but tried to shut the door on any future constitutional argument for abortion rights. Roughly half of all states are expected to criminalize virtually all abortions in the weeks and months ahead. What does this all mean?
