Just to review the current make up of the SCOTUS: Roberts (Dubya), Ginny's husband (Dubya's Dad), Breyer (Clinton), Alito (Dubya), Sotomayor (Obama), Kagan (Obama), Gorsuch (TFG), Barrett (TFG), Kavanaugh (TFG). That's six justices appointed by Repug presidents, or rather three by Repug presidents and three by an amoral RINO con man whose biggest campaign promise -- other than "Build The Wall" (not Pink Floyd's version) -- was that he would appoint only judges and justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. Each of T***p's SCOTUS nominees lied through the their teeth when they said Roe was "settled law."
Both Dubya and TFG were elected by a minority of voters. And even though a sizeable majority of voters want abortion to be legal, a 50 year issue that we thought had been decided has been destroyed in the blink of an eye. With "trigger laws" in place, abortion will be illegal in 13 states within the next month Seven more states are likely to ban the procedure.
A federal law codifying the right to abortion could resolve this matter, but with Manchin's commitment to obstructing any progressive legislation, and the possibility of the House switching hands because of the sizeable number of people who always vote against their own interests (aka, "The Base" ) , the chance of any meaningful legislation being passed in the next decade is slim.
The religious crazies will be emboldened to ram their draconian agenda down our throats. They've already said they're going to eliminate birth control, even among married couples. After all, "every sperm is sacred." 
Clearly gay marriage is in the sights, and if they thought they could get away with it, outlawing interracial marriage would closely follow.
