Abortion, agree or disagree philosophically, pretty much affects only her and she will have one if she wants one, (falling downstairs, pill overdose, hack doctors etc.). I do not agree with abortion but it is up to local governments and communities to decide. An overturning would just make it a federal crime and then what? We put women in prison who "accidently" fall downstairs or pill od?
No matter how you slice it, it is still legislating and disallowing the people in communities to run their own localities.

I'm not following you...Roe v Wade made it impossible for local communities to decide anything with regards to abortion. IT is NOT upto local communities to decide at all, as a result of Roe v Wade.
An overturning would return the right to allow local communities to decide. It wouldn't make anything a crime.
