The article underplays the role of federalism. The states that are fully on board with the sexual revolution will permit abortion and nothing will change internally. The states that were split, with many resisting the sexual revolution will have that split move up the political agenda. Some of them will outlaw abortion and then stick to their prohibition.

Yes, that will remake the sexual revolution, in those states. States that were reluctant. Interesting times indeed, but most Americans will be watching the action from a fuck-as-usual state.

I think assuming particular groups of people support abortion is part of the problem.

A hell of a lot of bleeding heart liberal women are actually against abortion while a lot of right wing people only want sensible restrictions.
