conspiracies are not "very interesting point[s]"

The reality is that:

1. Abortion has always been one of the most divisive topics in the US

2. Roe vs. Wade to begin with was a very shaky legal hodgepodge based around right to privacy

3. Codifying something like that takes immense political might and public approval neither of which existed in a significant capacity

It’s not that divisive outside the political class.

60+% majorities have supported abortion as a right until near the end of the second trimester, and for the health of the mother after that (for 30+ years).

That is not the case. Support drops well below a majority after the first trimester, and always has.
