P.S.  Yes, Biden is doing better in the polling than Trump was at this point in his Presidency.

Fortunately, the Court will not consider popular opinion - they'll consider the constitutional underpinnings of Roe, and reach their conclusions.  I think this is true for the liberal and conservative wings of the court both.  Their constitutional analysis will vary dramatically, depending upon their school of approach to constitutional law.

This raises an interesting point, I think.  Some think that an originalist approach like that employed by Scalia or Thomas is the only valid and proper approach.  Opposite hard-liners on the left think a more dynamic interpretation such as used by Sotomayor or to a lesser extent RGB is the only valid and proper approach.  Actually, both are valid approaches that have strengths and weaknesses.  This is why actual court opinions are so complex and interesting.  

Many states already have permissive abortion laws.  Some do not.  I personally think this is appropriate.  Let the states decide.  If Roe is overturned and this issue is kicked back to the states, I would expect more pro-choice state legislatures over time and more permissive state laws over time.  Overturning Roe, could be the motivation for Texas turning blue for example.  Hard to tell.
