There may also be a significant secondary effect of subsequent decisions by the Supreme Court becoming more ambitious. For example, already, Clarence Thomas said he thinks rights for same-sex marriage should be targeted. Also, recent cases allowed a redistricting map that disfavors minorities, allowed looser environmental protection, made it easier to carry a gun in New York, and one was considering changing the balance of power within states in favor for republicans with regards to the states’ election laws.
So in the case of same-sex marriage rights, there is potential for reduced compassion of people, and in the case of environmental protection, there is reduced appreciation of the longterm future of the planet.
While restricting abortion might cause more compassion for the unborn, compassion for the rights of women might be disregarded. Also, undermining the appreciation of the longterm future of the planet might subtract from any gained compassion for the future.
In my view, it seems like the only thing that will happen for sure is political instability.
