It's just that the 30% that don't are very rich, loud, and corrupt.
I do predict that this will lead to violence not seen in decades though.
Repealing Roe V Wade will not ban abortion nationwide. It will allow states themselves to ban it, or not ban it, or put whatever regulations they want on it.
There won't be societal meltdown. Probably plenty of protests, sure.
And the abortion law here in Texas will no longer be necessary with a repeal of Roe. The current law has citizens enforce it by suing those who have abortions, perform abortions, or in any way help someone get an abortion. It was made this way in order to get around Roe. But without Roe, the state government can enforce a ban.
It will likely lead to huge backlash by woman against Republicans. You will see states codify abortion rights into law like what New York has done.
