I think Roe might be toast. I get the point that Republicans need to keep it around to get Evangelicals riled up, but frankly it's no longer in the GOP's hands. It's all about how the 6 conservative justices on the court will rule on Roe given a direct attack. I feel 3 of them (Thomas, Alito, and Amy Kevin Garnett) will definitely vote to overturn. It only takes 2 of the other 3, so who knows.
And if Roe is overturned, that's only the beginning of the fight for evangelicals and catholics. All overturning Roe does is make it a state issue. So probably 35-40 states keep abortion legal, and 10-15 backwards-ass states make it illegal. The next step for evangelicals, and what they will be fighting tooth and nail for, is a national abortion ban. Just need a GOP president and control of both houses to make that happen. And maybe that doesn't happen until 2024 at the earliest, but I guarantee you anti-abortionists will be pushing hard for it.
