Until a bunch of old dudes die off.

  You underestimate how many right-wing, pro-life young dudes are out there.

    Don’t forget all the pro life young women: https://news.gallup.com/poll/235646/men-women-generally-hold-similar-abortion-attitudes.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/235646/men-women-generally-hold.... About 20% of both men and women have opposed abortion in all circumstances going back to 1979. Also, on the right, it’s women that drive the anti-abortion movement: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/08/730898408/republican-women-and-abortion https://www.npr.org/2019/06/08/730898408/republican-women-an... (“But what's interesting, Scott, is that Republican women express more opposition to abortion than Republican men - 68% of Republican women call themselves pro-life compared to 59% of their male counterparts. Also, Republican women were the only group in this poll to oppose exceptions for abortion in cases of rape and incest. A majority opposed that, while most Republican men do support those exceptions.”)

  A “bunch of old dudes” were the ones who decided Roe. Abortion views haven’t really changed since then: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2011/07/01/137079714/poll-generation-y-supports-gay-marriage-but-is-divided-on-abortion https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2011/07/01/1370797... (“But a new poll out today finds that abortion is not one of the issues on which the children are more liberal than their parents.”). There was a bump in pro-choice sentiment after Dobbs but we will see if that is durable. The public opinion on abortion has been remarkably stable over decades: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/ https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opini...
