Darwinism in action.

It's not popular to say but the vast majority of these young anti-natalists will change their minds and want kids when they are older.

People are so obsessed with control when it comes to families and kids they would rather castrate themselves than admit these things are mostly beyond your control.

And of course that obsession with control is to benefit employers, tax payers and men who don't want responsibility for their actions, not mostly women.

Which then raised the other point, you are mostly going to be paying for these extra babies. Not just in raising them but also the crime they are going to cause because they mostly wont have fathers who stick around.

Or to put it more bluntly: overturning RvW will ruin many lives of the 99%. The popularity of it among the far right so-called evangelist "christian" one issue voters will help with the midterm elections in GOP gerrymandered states and more GOP candidates continue to destroy the lower and middle classes in the US, so that their corporate and wealthy donors can reap a minor financial profit. The 60% of Americans who favour RvW no longer matter because of the 6:3 GOP hack majority in the Supreme Court. Packing the Supreme Court with GOP hacks was specifically for this purpose. They're doing what they're told to do. Saiditors who complain about government overreach should be very concerned that this is happening. It will immediately create serious problems for millions of women (and men) in 22 states when it reaches a vote. I hope there will be numerous protests.

I think you need to remember that women are one of the most anti-abortion demographics.

This issue has very much been legislated in a top down way rather than letting working class and religious women work out for themselves what's for the best.

Likely they will need to learn the hard way before this issue is finally solved.

I think this is likely why America has such a problem with this issue compared to the rest of the West, it's always one side trying to win over the other by force or tactics rather than discussing what's the best compromise in a difficult topic.

That's why overturning Roe v Wade is good because instead of one answer being forced by the federal government, the people of each state can participate in considering this complicated moral issue.
