Quite a few states that have or are expected to have abortion bans via the legislature also have ways of passing amendments via ballot initiative (i.e. direct voting by the people) that would supersede the legislature. You're gonna start seeing the GOP pivot hard over to "direct democracy is bad because reasons" as I bet if you put abortion on the ballot, maybe Mississippi and Alabama ban it but that's gonna be about it.
After the vote in Kansas happened I feasted on the :cope: from evangelicals who are convinced the overwhelming majority of Americans want abortion banned.

It's called the silent majority because it doesn't exist so it can't speak
