The thing is, because the issue has been federalized and placed in the hands of the judicial branch, it’s hard to judge how the States would act if the issue were returned to the State legislatures.  There is widespread support for limiting abortion, but with Roe v. Wade in place, voters who favor limits but not prohibition have no need to distinguishe between the two positions in State races.  If Roe v. Wade were reversed shortly after a federal election cycle so that most State legislatures would have two full years to deal with it, we’d see a rash of anti-abortion legislation passed that would lead to more moderate Satte legislatures being elected which would over the next decade or so see these laws generally being toned down.
