The Washington Post put together a handy map to show which states still have abortion rights, here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/24/abortion-state-laws-criminalization-roe/
In case you can’t open it: Frighteningly, only 20 states are “likely to remain protected” – all of New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Alaska, Hawaii, the entire West Coast plus Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.
And make no mistake: if the Republicans win the midterms, as they hope to do, there will be a national ban. Guaranteed.
And Clarence Thomas, in his concurrence, suggested that since they arbitrarily ditched the “right to privacy” that has been settled Constitutional Law since 1923, they should also go after three other laws based on it: the right to contraception, the striking down of “sodomy laws” used against the LGBTQ, and Obergefell, which established gay marriage rights. They’re going after those next.
By the way, there is a fourth major decision that was also based on the right to privacy, and that was Loving v. Virginia, which enabled interracial marriage. Thomas left that one out, presumably given his marriage to proven traitor Ginni Thomas, and it shows his utter hypocrisy and self-serving decision-making at its finest. He may regret this, however, given that there are a number of states ready and willing to re-enact anti-miscegenation laws…
So I guess her voting in the very next election to have the rules changed in her state….such a bad thing, huh? nonono, let the GUBMINT handle it for you.

Such may well be needed in the days, months and years to come.

Too often too many confuse constitution based rights with current social values.

Stop the fear-mongering. It goes back to the States, were it always belonged.
