We can now elect the people who will implement our preference, allowing it to evolve in multiple places in parallel.
It also has a second order effect of depoliticizing SCOTUS, in theory, it will take time for this to wind down
The real duplicity of the Republican party is that they said, "it should be up to the states" until it turned out the states very much want to allow abortions. Now they've about-faced and are pushing for a federal ban. That's some bullshit right there.
We don’t - didn’t - need to elect people to implement our preference.
Stepping away from a politically-charged question is still a politicized decision.

There are people who believe that abortion is equivalent to murder.
Beyond the binary decision, there is more nuance to when pro-choice laws allow for abortion or not, and similar for pro-life.
- pro-choice often does not include late term abortion
- pro-life can make exceptions for rape and incest
These nuances can vary between states that fall under the same half of the binary part. All of them can change much more easily now
