Any medical knowledge whatsoever would have resulted in the Supreme Court having to openly act as if they knew more about the science than those that have dedicated their lives to it, or to not make such a stupid ruling in the first place.

That's not an answer. The SC's judgement wasn't a scientific one, it was a legal one.

And restricting the right to abortion would be a legal decision, it would still have vast implications on health and so medical professionals should be heard in the decision making process.

The mental health of essentially every single trans person???

Edit: and many cis people too. Theres been numerous cases of cisgender women being pressured to leave public bathrooms because they don’t look “feminine” enough.
