Of course I understand that. Republicans can also take a look at the populace's opinion, change their position and improve their messaging. Take away the ammo the democrats have about 'protecting women's right to choose'. It'll take years, but if the republicans ever want to win again, they need to do it.
And arguing that there a multiple ways to avoid even having to have an abortion (condoms/IUD/birth control/etc) is pointless. That messaging has never, and will never work. When you run on a position of banning abortions, it will drive democrats to the polls, plain and simple. All repealing Roe and leaving it up to the states has done is give democrats a platform to base their campaign on in swing states.
