If anything, it has repoliticized it for the average American voter. For the past decades, the only people who seemed to actually care about abortion was a tiny bunch of fringe activists who held disproportionate influence over the GOP. For everyone else, it was not really an issue on their radar (let's be real, how many people actually voted Democrat based on their pro-choice stance and not other issues?) because it was considered "settled law".
Now that abortion regulations are clearly defined as a political question (which, let's face it, was always what it should have been), regular voters are forced to face the reality that their vote has a material impact on the issue. And, as it turns out, the vast majority of Americans are not in favor of draconian abortion bans, and when they vote with the awareness that their abortion rights are at stake, they largely vote pro-choice. This is how democracy should work.
