For those of you that don't know what a reversal of the Roe v Wade decision would mean, it would simply leave the decision up to each individual state. So it is quite possible that some of the really conservative states might ban abortion. But it would remain legal throughout the vast majority of the country.
I don't really have a strong opinion on the issue. But if Roe v Wade was overturned and abortion was made illegal in a few conservative states, I don't think that would be the end of the world.

Good point. I agree that it would revert to a state's rights issue, like anywhere else that Federal involvement is not present.
Not sure that the general public automatically factors in state issue vs. federal right away on support or opposition on major issues.
