Whatever it does, the court will uphold the Mississippi statute. To do that, it has to overrule Roe and Casey. That's a big deal already, even if it rules that abortions in the first trimester have to be allowed.
I believe someone elsewhere wrote that Justice Roberts was trying to convince some to rule that, basically, "the Mississippi statute doesn't violate Roe v Wade", so that in theory it would still stand. Though I can't see that actually making a lot of sense legally.
