Its not so wrong to ask, was this the will of the people (aka would it pass a vote) or was this the rule of a liberal court?

Vote away.

You may be surprised to learn that according to this poll most people favor letting roe v. wade stand.
This page contains the results of 19 different polls conducted by many varying organizations from either side of the political spectrum. In my initial glance through i saw not a single poll where the majority of respondents favored an outright ban on abortion. Most people seem to favor the restricted right to abortion as opposed to an anything goes attitude. It seems that if there was a vote affirming the right, albeit with certain restrictions, to abortion the result would be the legalization of abortion. I'm willing to bet that it still wouldn't satisfy the prolife movement though.
