Paywalled, but I think I get the gist of it. A week or so after the draft opinion leaked, the Times ran an op-ed by a Catholic priest that said, basically, yes this is going to make life harder and arguably worse for a lot of people. We should stop pretending otherwise, because it (the suffering) is God's will. That's all that matters. Very difficult to argue with those conceptions (of reality, not zygotes) when the Court has basically reshaped the first amendment from protection of the people against religious ideology to protection of religious ideology against government overreach.
