How could they possibly have lost more than they gained? Abortion has been legal nationwide for 40 years.

One can make the argument (which I believe to be correct) that by going through the courts and making a highly dubious Supreme Court decision instead of going through the normal legislative process the abortion rights groups made their newly acquired "rights" seem illegitimate to a large part of the electorate.
