I'm honestly increasingly beginning to believe this is a good thing. It would drive D turnout up and R turnout down for the midterms.

What is the point of winning elections if you lose on the actual issues? This is the apex of the "politics as a spectator sport" mindset.

You misunderstand the nature of the abortion issue.

If this decision is overturned, suddenly, millions of people will no longer have a reason to vote R. They could start voting for their own economic interests, finally. This might finally give us the voting power to end the seemingly unstoppable wealth inequality spiral.

Possibly, but this seems unlikely - if anything, Republican strategists might have to be more worried about their pro-choice voters (of whom there are many, including big time Trump supporters). Roe vs Wade is totemic but really not the final frontier for either "side" of the abortion debate, although it will not go precisely because the totem is probably more useful than whatever remains afterwards given the cultural significance it has accrued through decades of politics.

For most voters, it is rarely ever about states' rights.
