Now that Roe v. Wade is struck down, Can states now legally mandate forced abortions?

Asked by Kraigmo (9061points) June 24th, 2022

Since Roe v. Wade was based on an assumed Constitutional right to privacy, and it is now overturned… can states mandate abortions for certain people, especially if they present a compelling state interest?
For example, if someone on welfare has 9 kids, can states now force her to abort any potential 10th baby, based on the idea that she is abusing her other 9 kids by having another kid she cannot afford, and she is abusing the welfare system by making preventable choices that depend on future state support?
