In the meantime, how much change has there been on other issues you do care about (albeit less than abortion)?

It seems to me that abortion (on the Court and through federal law) isn't likely to change a whole lot no matter who the president is. Other aspects of the life of Americans are much more likely to change (taxes, health care, foreign policy, etc), so those should be the issues people vote on (with abortion being a factor, just a lesser one).
This is your most condescending post ever. It matters not what you think about abortion or whether is makes a difference or not. Citizens should vote their conscience. And if their conscience is the single issue of abortion, then they should vote for the candidate that is on the same side of that issue.
