If Roe v Wade wasn’t struck down the outcome would have been very different.

No, it wouldn't have. Those women would never vote anything else.

I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss the idea. After the idea was floated I decided to venture into various social media platforms and see what the women/sluts I know are saying … there’s a good number I know have never been political, but they retweeted something about RvW, or made some Instagram post showing them at the polls saying they were there to “defend women’s rights.” One of them even posted on LinkedIn.

Between RvW being an under-reported issue (I think the op’s graphic and exit polls show it was indeed a significant issue), and people under 40 being literally bought and paid for with student loan forgiveness, it’s a wonder that republicans did as well as they did. (Not to mention that the democrats have a three-election head start on ballot harvesting.)
