I sincerely doubt it. If 20 states move towards outlawing abortion, this issue goes away. Pro-choice Californians (assuming they are the controlling majority) get to tell the pro-lifers to move to Indiana or Utah. I'm not even sure the 20 pro-Life states are Republican, once the whole abortion issue gets obviated by allowing state control.
The beauty is, the serial abortion-obtainers and the occasional Catholic and whoever else can all move to your state and drive up property values even higher. Or they can visit for a few days whenever they get pregnant. The only way this becomes a huge problem for everybody is if somewhere North of 40 states (just to throw a random, but high number out) move to ban it so that people have to constantly travel to the same remote backwater to get it.
Otherwise, I think it mostly moots the whole issue for both parties, if the country could just a rational status quo on solid ground.
