While it will be several years before the constitutionality of these laws is fully reviewed, it is expected that the Supreme Court will allow much greater restrictions on abortion than are currently enforced.
Some states may successfully outlaw abortions except in the most limited circumstances, but probably many will retain abortion on demand. As long as abortion remains a legal option in another state, it is arguable that physicians have a legal duty to continue to discuss abortion as an alternative. Even if a state that has outlawed abortion were also to prohibit wrongful birth and wrongful life lawsuits, physicians would continue to have an ethical duty to counsel patients about the role of abortion in managing genetic diseases and when otherwise medically indicated.The Climate Change and Public Health Law Site
