You can't compare the actions of "male legislative bodies" in red states with opinion polling of "women across the country." Abbott won women in 2022 after signing a 6-week abortion ban. DeSantis did the same after signing a 6-week abortion ban. Obviously, neither politician cares what non-voters, or voters in other states think.

Those "male legislative bodies" were almost invariably elected by female-majority electorates. And Republican women had a huge hand in getting those candidates elected, because they opposed Roe even more strongly than Republican men. https://www.prri.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/F2-Evaluatio.... "Republican women" were also "the only group to say overwhelmingly that life begins at conception. About three-quarters said so, compared with less than half of Republican men and a third of Democratic women." https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730183531/poll-majority-want-...

And while you're correct that most women, nationally, oppose the most extreme restrictions, most women also support restrictions that Roe didn't allow: https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/HHP.... For example, 75% of women and 69% of men said abortions should not be available after 15 weeks (see p. 41).

What you're seeing with extreme abortion restrictions in deep red states is actually the product of women's political power. Anti-abortion women are among the most reliable voting blocs. While Roe was in effect, Republicans ran hard-line candidates to get those voters to turn out. More moderate Republicans, folks who say supported bans after 6 weeks or 12 weeks, could get on the same side of opposing Roe. When Roe was overturned, you had these hard-line candidates in office, who were significantly to the right on the abortion issue of even most voters in those states.

Coalition politics can often result in elected officials who are more extreme on certain issues than the electorate as a whole. For example, elected Democrats in California overwhelmingly supported Prop 16. But Prop 16 was defeated 60-40 in the referendum: https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/prop-16-failed-in-californ....
