“Why would be freaking out? Thomas and Alito can’t overturn Roe themselves. Maybe there’s a slight chance Roberts or Barrett could. That’s still only four.”
Forget Roberts. He is pretty much on record for upholding Roe in the Louisiana case in 2020.

Unless Roberts reverses himself, striking Roe will require Kav, Barrett and Gorsuch. The only one I have some degree of confidence in is Gorsuch who has shown himself willing to gut precedent if he thinks it was wrongly decided. Kav and Barrett are weak, nervous establishment types who want to be liked by the elites. As such, I’m not optimistic but I’d love to be proven wrong about them.
The Supreme Court would be very unlikely to do anything that would upset (royally piss off) a large chunk of society. Like you suggest, if anything, they’ll uphold Roe.
And for the record, any kind of abortion restrictions will be a boon for Democrat fundraising. Even a twice as senile old Biden could win a presidential race against any R candidate threatening Roe.
“The only one I have some degree of confidence in is Gorsuch”
But didn’t he write the Roe vs. Wade for gender theory, elevating gender confusion to a protected civil rights classification? I don’t think he’s a slam dunk against abortion. Kav and Barrett are iffy and Roberts is probably gone.
