Roe must be overturned very carefully. A heavy handed approach will do much damage. Women who normally don't care that much about the issue will, all of a sudden and vote accordingly. Remember, the having something taken away is 5 times more powerful than not getting something.

Returning some power of legislation to the states, that the SCOTUS has taken away by the power of Roe and its progeny, would mean that women would lobby the states to pass "sensible" laws regulating abortion. Until the laws in the various states are changed, the situation is status quo. States may be chicken to tackle the issue too. But simple because it is a divisive issue, better it be made by more of the people, instead of by "the Imperial Judiciary."
