True but the Democrats are pretty motivated anyway.
As for Row vs Wade, I was reading the other way about how pro-choice activists have long suspected its time would come and have been preparing alternative campaigns including funding programs to get people in blue states in which the overturning of Row Vs Wade would not override the state's rights to allow abortion.
But with Row vs Wade gone then I don't think there is anything stopping Trump and the Republicans going for a federal ban. So the Democrats will be motivated to vote knowing the Supreme Court might overturn the ban on aborition and it'll only be the White House and the House that can stop it becoming illegal across the states.
Also remember that the last parts of Obamacare, such as preventing insurance companies from not taking on people with pre-existing conditions, might be jettisoned by the Supreme Court too.
