Were they wrong and if so, why?
If you even have to ask that question, it would
indicate that you have no real understanding of
the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The ramifications
have already been witnessed in dozens of cases.
Trump's illegitimate loading of the Supreme Court
meant that the Republican-dominated court has
effectively denied the natural, civil rights of millions
of women across the US.
Nearly two dozen states have banned abortions or
severely restrict access on the basis of this Federal
law. Thirteen have "trigger laws" that ban abortion
almost immediately.
Additionally, pregnant women now face the risk of
prosecution for seeking to end pregnancies in states
where abortion is banned, and research has shown
that unwanted pregnancies have many harmful long-
term consequences for mothers, including a higher
chance of financial hardship and a severe toll on
mental health.
The US currently has the highest maternal mortality
rate of any developed country. In total, more than
600 women die every year of pregnancy-related
complications, with 60% of those deaths being
preventable by early termination.

All true, more or less, but it has nothing to do with the legitimacy or otherwise of the Courts decision.
If the Justices were right and abortion is a State issue then there is no argument.
why it is not a State issue before condemning the Supreme Court’s ruling.
