In that case, tell us why in the world did Ireland vote to repeal its near total ban on abortion to the tune of 66.4% to 33.6%. In my opinion, that tells you how such a vote would go in all or nearly all of the states. Ireland now seems okay with legal abortion on demand up to the 12th week.
Irrelevant. Ireland isn't a US state and has no stake in this SCOTUS case.
No, the 10th Amendment was NOT implemented by Texas passing a law.
The TX heartbeat law implements the 10th Amendment by not criminalizing abortion and leaving the power of enforcement to the people, per the 10th Amendment. The injured party/parties can either file a tort, or not, depending on how they feel about abortion.

How are those relatives injured?
They don't have the child, grandchild, niece/nephew, etc., they would have had if the pregnancy had come to term.
There was never a baby there to begin with. There was only a potential life. Didn't develop yet.
That's contradicted by states' fetal homicide and child abuse laws. Both types of laws legally recognize unborn children as a separate human life for which one can be prosecuted for killing or harming.
Would you support the Supreme Court overturning the part of Roe v Wade that places restrictions on the reasons why a woman can have a post-viability abortion ?
There already are restrictions for post viability abortions.
Just like states have varying restrictions on 2nd Amendment Rights from nearly nothing to quite draconian, the same is true (and Constitutionally should be true) for abortion.

Oh for crying out loud!!! You wanting fetal homicide laws to apply to abortion does not make it so.
Obviously every state that has a fetal homicide law disagrees with you, since they all mention abortion as an exception. Go lobby all of those states' lawmakers if you want that changed. Until then, your argument makes no sense.

Translation:
It's ok to abort / kill your baby if you feel like it. The "law" says so.

Yep, nailed it.
Everyone except IC understands what the intent of these laws was when passed.
On top of that the text in these laws is abundantly clear that abortion is an exception.

That's not what I've said at all. What I've said is that since killing an unborn child is already legally legislated by states as homicide, abortion laws should abide by the exact same legal precedent already set that killing an unborn child is homicide.
