I understand your point, but unfortunately, Roe v. Wade has tied the hands of elected officals who want to ban abortion.

If there were 1 million innocent children scheduled to be murdered this year, and you had the ability to save the lives of 200,000 of them, but were powerless to save the rest, would you let the 200,000 die along with the other 800,000 or save as many lives as you can?

Besides restricting certain abortions, and requiring sonagrams, which will convince some women to spare their babies’ lives, laws like this the push the limit back from “viability” (generally 24 weeks) to 20 weeks, might lead to constitutional challenges, that could potentially give the SCOTUS the opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade.

If Roe v. Wade was reviewed today, there would almost certainly be 4 votes to overturn (Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Alito) and Kennedy (who upheld the partial birth abortion ban) might cast the deciding vote to overturn that evil decision.

Your arguments are Utilitarian, not moral or constitutional.

Roe v. Wade has tied the hands of elected officals

Well, it shouldn't. They swore to support the Constitution, not the Court.

The judicial supremacist mindset is doing more than just about anything else I can think of to destroy this free republic.

And "pro-life" "Republicanism" is rotten to the core with it.
