The GOP never had to reconcile their philosophy of abortion with the real-world consequences that can happen in hard cases before - they were always protected by Roe. Now that it's gone, grappling with how to set policy on those hard cases is going to be wrenching for them. And having told the anti-abortion hardliners for so long and so consistently that their....well, hardline position is not just the right policy, but the only just and moral policy, there will be considerable political consequences if they try to walk that back. They've invested far too much in raising the salience of abortion as a moral issue, not a political one.

GOP is the dog that caught the car.
