Nationally it is, although you'd be surprised what proportion of that 50% are in favour... plenty of pro-life women down there.

Or into neighbouring states, at least until those states also enact similar measures.
It's worth noting that the law itself has not been upheld. Suggesting that Roe v. Wade has been overturned is pretty misleading. The court denied a remedy that would prevent it from taking effect. It can still be challenged and overturned, and the first part of that will definitely happen. If it does, and the SCOTUS upholds it as a validly enacted law, then you can say that Roe v. Wade has been effectively overturned. But there's no guarantee of that.
Of course, even if the law is ultimately struck down next year (the article I read said somewhere around June 2022 for a decision), that will come as little consolation to the people who are affected in the meantime.
