Slight counterpoint: I believe Republicans want to campaign on overturning Roe, and do want to chip away at it in ways which don't completely overturn, but that they want to be able to continue campaigning on overturning it, forever. They're not idiots. They know they have a topic that gets a lot of single-issue voters to go out and cast ballots every election. And they know public opinion is overwhelmingly against fully overturning Roe, so if they ever succeeded they'd be in trouble: a lot of the country would be against them, and the single-issue hotheads would no longer have a righteous cause to motivate them to vote. So what they want is the campaign issue, not the reality of actually overturning it.
