I think most women already know where their interests lie. And I think they will vote accordingly from here on in. The Me Too movement has shaken out some of stuff they have had to put with since the dawn of time. The demographic breakdown of an unusually high turnout midterm (despite 50% identifying as pro-life) seems to indicate that they are beginning to vote differently from previously. I, or anyone else for that matter, don't have to win over the opposition; people just tend to respond to policies which affect them negatively. While they can, of course.
Ginsberg herself stated that Roe vs Wade was open to re-interpretation given the nature of the original ruling in the mid '80's.
Sometimes when you look at your choices, and the consequences which follow them, you backtrack. In the UK the polls now show that if we had a second referendum Brexit would be stopped by a large majority. We won't get a second bite at Brexit, however, unless we are offered one, which is unlikely. Ergo we can do nothing about the UK's situation now, but it doesn't alter the fact that folk would change things if they could, given the realisations of the complexity of Brexit: the probable logistical difficulties shown up, the damage to the economy, and the revelations of the misinformation they were fed previously.
Eventually, after all the other options are worked through, people will pin the blame on the perpetrators, albeit posthumously. It's called history; and try as we might, we can't beat it, nor can we write it now hoping for some false future posterity as reality conforms to our opinions and we cover-up our sins and suppress alternative viewpoints. We have entered a lossless information age; the AIs sifting through our digital remains will judge us. Not that such will bother us much, of course.
