I'm under no illusion that this landmark decision will stop all abortions like I'm under no illusion that almost all laws restricting something never results in a 100% elimination of the thing it seeks to eliminate. That said, the decision is a step in the right direction.

Its not the destruction of a human being, it is the destruction of a group of cells. Calling a 15 week fetus a human in insincere. It is a group of cells still being developed by the mother. It is not a living independent being, it is forming and still 100% requiring of the mother for survival.
Once you hit 24 weeks there is about a 60% chance of survival of a premature birth. At 20 weeks it is at best a 10% chance of survival. At most I could see no abortions over 24 weeks, and for the most part those laws already exist. No one is aborting 30 week fetuses unless the life of the woman is in jeopardy, and then it becomes standard triage.
Overturning Roe v Wade isn't protecting lives, it is restricting actual lives in favor of potential lives. You might as well say that masturbation is killing babies because those sperm may have one day formed a baby. At 15 weeks, there is 0 chance of that fetus surviving without the mother, therefor it isn't an independent life, but still part of the woman and her body is her choice.
This is nothing but a step backwards for religious zealots who want to control women. It has nothing to do with protecting life, this endangers life.
