VA was firmly Red in both houses for a long time, and only flipped in '19


iirc. Yes, some of these states are more severely gerrymandered than VA (which only now is going into effect), but I think you're underestimating the pushback that would come from putting in a complete ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.

As I've said before, after the last 4 yrs, I'm not sure I could ever vote for a Dem again. And abortion is far from a top issue for me, yet I would find it extremely difficult, if not impossible to vote for anyone that campaigned on a complete ban with no exceptions. (and yes, that would include at the National level) Not only are you going to motivate a large number of voters that do consider abortion to be a fairly important topic, but if the GOP has to worry about me voting for them, even the most severely gerrymandered states could, and would be flipped.
