Seems to big and powerful a subject, to be decided by nine people.
Even to an outsider like myself, it wasn't rocket science to understand how the SC would vote, and what decision they would arrive at, given the political bias of the court.
Most opinion polls show a large majority in favor of Pro Choice.

I'm not sure where you get your polls from, but the latest Gallup poll shows 49% favor abortion, and 47% are against it. Not what I would call a "large majority".
And looking at a poll for abortion after 16 weeks "When asked how they would feel if such a law were passed in their state, just over half of voters favor it (54%) while 41% are opposed.
