59. They would be, trust me
I unfortunately live and work amongst these people, and I know full well that merely the fear of The Return of Roe (as I've taken to calling it) would be enough to keep them in line and voting repub. Those people do not care about economic issues, often know that they are voting against their economic self-interest, and actually get some strange sort of martyrdom out of thinking that they are sacrificing self so that the little babies can live.

Even the loss of reproductive rights doesn't bring those people back to or to the Dem party.
