It's de-centralized authority, bumped it back to States Rights vs Federal.

Ultra-conservative Kansas voted Pro-Choice, by popular vote.

I did not vote, because I'm exempt from having children (sigh).

The current court no longer finds an enforceable right to abortion in the federal constitution. But if some state judge or legislature wre to say "By authority of Almighty god, and in accordance with His law, there should be no abortion in our state. " that would be a clear violation of The Establishment Clause in the first amendment. At least it's clear according to how the Supreme Court always has interpreted the thing. The court now seems very free to change its mind. It used to be the case that no matter what you are making a law about if you frankly said it was in accordance with upholding religion, that would make it establishment of religion and the Supreme Court would throw it out. Will have to see if that's still holds.
