Having an abortion because you can’t properly support a child or another child is not something that only happened before Griswold and Roe. It’s always been a major reason why women have an abortion.

Very true. The only reason I specified prior to those cases is because, since those cases, American women have grown accustomed to the access of the options these cases afforded them. Perhaps the sudden loss of those things will change some minds, just as Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization riled up the pro-choice and anti-abortion crowds; while there's been decades of talk on both sides, it wasn't until the law actually changed and peoples' lives were effected that everyone truly mobilized.
