The majority support severely restricting abortion along the lines of the "only in cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother" exceptions.

My argument is with the "we must change hearts and minds" fallacy. The majority of hearts and minds are already closer to the pro-life position than the current abortion of demand culture imposed by Roe and Casey. There never was a pro-abortion majority and the "hearts and minds" argument is made by those brainwashed by the pro-abortion forces and media and too chicken poop to take a position that they wrongly perceive as unpopular on the most important moral issue of the last half century.

I would agree. And after Roe is overturned I think laws restricting abortion to those circumstances would easily pass in nearly all states.

To pass a law banning abortion even in the case of rape or incest (which is what I think most pro-lifers want) would be a lot tougher, and yes, hearts and minds do come into play in that case.
