I guess an interesting question for myself, and other social conservatives who support democracy, is was Trump's presidency worth it overall? Sure, the right-wing went insane, American democracy almost ended in 2020, but Roe got overturned and that could save tens of thousands of innocent lives a year.
I'm honestly not sure, but I lean towards no.
honest question: do you expect birth rates to noticeably increase, and if so, what kind of childhood do you think the average forced birth kid will have? it's almost adorable how religiously-naive you are towards the predictable suffering and death this decision will cause in reality: children in loveless or destitute households, increased child poverty, crime, hunger, disproportionally affecting poor and minority folks (as intended). desperate mothers, a massive increase of unsafe illegal abortions, lifelong depression, even more prisoners, and ofc lasting deep division in society... truly a great day for religious zealots living sheltered lives everywhere...
