There is so much more at stake than Roe

Hopes of correcting the stupidity of citizens United
Voting rights reestablished
A full on attack by evangelicals against everyone but themselves.
Any logical immigration policy and common sense regulation of guns.
Funding for public education spent on vouchers for private schools
Decades of battling these right wing thorns in the side of democracy has been lost to the wind.

...as will any other alternative plan a Biden administration might be able to put together. (And "Medicare 4 All?" Forget about it for another fifty years.) I'm sure government programs replacing private enterprise at anything other than the military and police will be ruled unconstitutional.

Congress will likely be thrown out too. There some people still don't get it. Hope the republican controlled Supreme Court is going to vote with Democrats sometimes. I wouldn't bet on it. It is time to fight with fire.

And all republicans allowing trump to corrupt OUR government , and soon this court. This should be a rally cry against especially trump and Moscow Mitch for their removal for office, or the corruption gets much worse. If trump has a rigged court he will escalate his attacks on our Democracy, and this upcoming election. Where's 5 or more republican Senators putting country over trump and switch sides eliminating Moscow Mitch as the majority leader, and giving it to the Democrats.
