To be scrupulously fair to Alito, he doesn't really believe women are people, so I guess it isn't surprising that he doesn't think they have concrete reliance interests.
Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests.
Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade.
Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

Does he not realize he is warning of a Trump Great Depression
Trump: "Trump: "If the Democrats win, you will end up in a 1929-style economic depression. We will have a disaster on our hands. Had I lost the election, had we had Kamala win, I believe our country would be destroyed. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket."
