As a separate point, consider whether the people elected to state office were placed there by voters with the expectation that they'd be deciding abortion issues. Aside from the occasional crackpot, few candidates have run on express platforms of making abortion illegal once we get rid of all those activist judges.
Consider also that GOPers as of 2002 are in control in a majority of state legislatures, the first time that's happened in 50 years.

Granted, this stuff would get sorted out over the subsequent election cycles, but I occasionally wonder how much thought people put into electing state officials (other than governors). I'd bet not much.
