Since the Dobbs ruling came down a week ago, I've been searching for a legal reasoning and understanding of how the overturning of a 50-year old precedent could happen. I finally found one:
Even after the history and explanation, I'm still left with the question (that is actually discussed in the video) of how did 5-6 people decide to overturn a precedent simply because they didn't like it. In the end, they basically ruled that the original cases were simply "egregiously wrong", in their opinion. In other words, 6 individuals (5 men, 1 woman) just told ~166 million Americans that they have to rely on their state not to prosecute them for murder if they need an abortion.
And why? Because those 6 people felt like it.
