The overturning of Roe is going to present huge - hopefully insurmountable - problems for the abortionists and their lobby. Instead of just having to "support" (i.e., bribe and/or blackmail) enough Senators to control the Supreme Court, they will have to spread out to various state legislatures and try to set up a whole critical series of individual legislators. And those legislators will no longer be able to hide behind Roe and "settled law", but will be accountable to voters who are actually their neighbors. A logistical and financial challenge with very limited chances of political success. After 30+ years of a free ride, during which Americans have seen the grisly results of this barbaric lie, their chances for legislative success may be even worse today than they would have been if they'd tried the legislative approach back in the late 60s/early 70s.

Therein lies the problem with the 17th amendment..before that they were senators appointed by state legislatures and answerable to them and in order to corrupt the choice you had to bribe a majority of the legislators in a majority of states..now you only have to bribe 2 people per state.
