Most swing voters are going to be surprisingly apathetic about most social issues. In fact, most social issues are issues because they attract a vocal group on either side, but there's not enough support to push the issue conclusively either way.

Economic issues are going to be front and centre in the American election (and ours too).
The anti-choice crowd has shown over and over they will come out and vote while young people who tend to lean left don’t.

Roe vs Wade is a big voting motivator though and this election will come down to motivating people to vote in the swing states. The Dems need a campaign beyond Trump is bad and have a strong economic message but they shouldn’t ignore a huge lever they have.
