It might have been safe, if RBG had lived long enough to allow Biden to replace her. But, with Barrett now on the court, things are anything but sure. If the current court overturns Roe, even if they don't invoke "natural law" in their decision to declare that all "unborn children" have an equal status to the already-born (thus automatically making all abortions homicide) -- which I personally expect them to do -- you still won't be able to get any relief through federal law, as Republicans will be able to filibuster any such bill. That leaves it up to each state, and there are "pro-life" majorities in most state legislatures. And, even if your state isn't one of them, most states (unlike Washington, where I live) never bothered to codify abortion rights themselves, because Roe covered it for them. That means that, should Roe be overturned, the laws in those states will automatically revert to where they were as of 1972 which, in most cases, means that abortion would be re-outlawed unless the legislature enacts new ones. And you can count that, even in many "progressive" states, the Religious Right might be able to exert a strong lobbying effort to prevent such an occurrence, as a lot of state legislators, even if their personal position is pro-choice, might not want to allow themselves to be painted as a "baby-killer" in the next campaign.
So, yeah, I'd say "very volatile and uncertain" is probably an understatement, if anything.
