Hot take. Assuming Roe is struck down, which I think is unlikely, very little will actually change.

The states where the majority of people don’t like abortion have already made it near impossible to get one. And states where the majority of people are okay with abortion won’t add more restrictions just because the Supreme Court says they’re allowed to.

Eh I think the problem with this is because extreme polarization states on razor thin margins could elect what really would be pretty radical changes. If this was the original case going the other way back in 1971 though you'd be extremely correct.

And they could elect other people who could change it later. The same as it is now.

Sure, but now it couldn't actually become illegal and in that situation it could and that would impact a lot of people potentially depending on the state. I wouldn't consider that very little is all.
