Conservatives would assert that the Constitution says what it says and means what it was intended to mean, and that what the EU does,[1] or what the polls say,[2] don't matter.
But given that nobody seriously argues that Roe has a foundation in the text or original intent of the Constitution, it's certainly fair for them to point out that Roe can't be defended by saying, as liberals usually do, that we have a "Living Constitution" that incorporates "evolving social norms." Because what the EU does and what the polls say are certainly evidence of what those "evolving social norms are."
Roe raises the question of "where exactly do those 'evolving social norms' come from anyway?" And I suspect the honest answer is "the opinions of highly educated lawyers."
