It's only ever been a wedge issue for Dems. That case was decided over 40 years ago, by a SCOTUS more conservative (when you consider it was FORTY years ago) than it likely will ever be again. And, umm, precedent is sort of important so you'd need a really good reason (that I've not seen) to overturn the prior decision.
That bolded part is really the only part of your post that I disagree with. But you're right the SCOTUS does not like to overrule prior decisions. But it seems the Reps are going to make it a wedge issue now that have control. Reps are pro-life, Dems are pro-choice. Kinda hard to make it hard to make it a one sided argument when both are in the debate. It takes two to tango.
