I think we agree that the Roe vs Wade decision was a seriously flawed legal decision. But packing the supreme court to bring about a reversal doesn’t seem to be what will satisfy the country. Certainly, all of those who demand legal abortions will not simply go away. We would be swapping one ongoing controversy for another. A national vote on the matter, while not making all happy, would clear the air, so to speak and those left unhappy would have to face the fact that the majority has spoken.
It seems you assume that a national vote would go in favor of the pro-abortion crowd because they’re “not going to go away” if the court overturns Roe so they’re not going to go away as the result of a national vote, either. Overturning Roe would only put the matter back in the hands of the respective states where the voting public would have some say in the matter.
