Pretty hard to imagine a scenario where mainstream Dems go further to the left on abortion than Republicans are currently going to the right. The Dems are much, much closer to the median than their opposition. It's one of the few issues where they'll gain more votes relative to 2020 than they'll lose.

Trump is campaigning on keeping the federal government out of it, while Biden is running on codifying Roe. Seems pretty clear who’s closer to the median.

Yup, Biden.

People saying “Dems are basically all pro-choice/pro-life Dems will vote Democratic anyways” are missing the point. There is a huge pro-life population of this country who is not strongly affiliated with any party. These are the voters Democrats risk pushing into the arms of Republicans this election if they make abortion their rallying cry.

To directly address the point you're trying to get at, yes they may risk losing some pro-life voters, but they would gain more pro-choice voters, so it's a net gain of voters overall.
